Now after married, he pick up all the big ticket from SCV to utility to housing renovation loans and now he even pick up the tab for the car. Ooh, did I missed out the biggest ticket? The school fees for a primary school kid and a kindergarten kid plus the miscellaneous such as enrichment class and sport lessons. I will only pick up the smaller tabs such as grocery shopping for food and junk food and we tend to split the bills for those too. I will only pay for the makans for the whole family during the early of each month because that's when my pay is out. The rest of the month will be pick up by my hubby too.

wah, ur hubby very siong . i guess he must be earning alot to be able to pay all the bills by himself? it's a huge burden wor ..

Not really lah, just that our expense quite low, and I don't really go for any branded stuff or expensive food and our kids don't really get to buy alot of toys. My daughter recycle her brother's toys. Only enrichment books or activities for the kids only.

hmm, if you know each other well enough and know how much each can afford, then don't need to say much mah... when you all go out just see who's been paying a lot, then the other one pay? either that or don't go out that time?

It all depends on each income. It's good to share expenses. It's just like a shared responsibility when a couple have a house and both are working adults. it's only right to share the loans.
