Question! How do you all split bills?

Question

I’m not talking just about mortgage,electric,water,internet. I’d like opinions on that. 
But my fiancé and I are expecting our first child together and I want to know how others split the cost of a crib, clothes, food, even doctors bills. I might be the one having the baby but he had part in that as well seems how it was a planned situation so I feel as if he should be helping pay for the birth. 
We haven’t discussed any of this to much but I would just like opinions!! 😊

Answer

Joint account and pay out of that for bills, separate accounts for savings

Answer

I'm a sahm so there's none of that. It's our money, and our bills.

Answer

we have a joint account for everything. my brain is too scattered to have 3 separate accounts

Answer

We don’t really split anything. My husband went back for his second degree so right now my paycheck covers everything. But when he was working we each had $ go into our joint account and that’s where bills get paid. 
Anything personal like student loans, cars payments, fun stuff comes from our personal accounts. 
It just works for us. But as far as baby stuff- most of the big things were purchased for us or else I would just figure out what account to pull from (I am the primary person that takes care of our bills)

Answer

My partner & I have a joint bank account
We put the same amount of money in the account which is much more than our expenses.
We have a mortgage together & for everything we have done in the house comes from the remaining money in our account.
So if we ever split 50% of the house is ours & 50% of the money in the account is ours.
But. I doubt we'll ever split 😍

Answer

We have a joint account, we share every penny.

Answer

We don’t have any children and don’t plan on having them any time soon. For our bills, we have a joint checking account that they come out of. We each put in a set amount each paycheck, that adds up to our half of monthly shared bills. Which is in total $1300 a month. So we split the following:
-mortgage
-cell phone bill
-WiFi bill
-utilities and electric
- our mattress payment 
I think that’s everything. Our personal bills (car insurance, health insurance, car loan, etc) come out of our personal accounts. If we need something for the house, whoever can afford it at the time pays for it, unless it’s something that we’re getting a payment plan on. For those we alternate whose name goes on the bill. For example, the last thing we bought with a payment plan was our mattress, which is in my partners name. We are planning on getting new phones and getting a payment plan for those, they will go in my name.

Answer

My husband makes more than me and even when we were engaged we had joint account. It’s all coming out of one account so no one feels like ones paying more or anything. That way we know what we have leftover after bills too.

Answer

What a weird concept for me. 🤔 Lol I've been a SAHM pretty much our whole relationship (9/10 years) so its always been OUR money. I handle the bills but he supplies the cash.

Answer

My boyfriend and I have had a joint account since we moved in together. I have no account that is just mine, he has none that is only his. Our money is shared in our account. So when we had to buy for our baby we just used whatever we had in our bank.
