My GF's wage goes into her bank account which covers all bills, however both mobile phone contracts & fuel come out of mine which we turned into a joint account.
My wage goes into my account which as said is a joint account, a chunk of this is then taken & put into a savings account, we then take a fixed amount which we use for doing stuff together each month & we then both take £100 out each which is essentially "Beer money" for that month.
I earn commission in my job as it's telesales (i'm an evil cold caller!
) this commission I put into a seperate account to fund my Ford Capri build & keep my PC upto date (upto a certain amount as it would be unfair for me to be siphoning loads off)
My GF does some dance teaching and some sort of online typing thing which she uses for Horse riding stuff, handbags & other girly stuff, although she does use a fair bit of this for household stuff like carpets & hoovers etc.
Not the simplest way of doing things but it works and we always seem to have enough money to do everything we want to.
