I so agree with you that managing money is not one size fits all and there is no e.g. "right" way to split finances with your partner. Thanks for sharing this, I'm always a big fan of learning how different people budget/spend/earn/save and this was really fun to read!

Thanks for writing about your finances! I wanted to let you know you are not alone. My girlfriend and I keep our bank accounts separate but venmo each other all the time. Because I make more money than she does, we actually split things based on percentages not, "I pay half and she pays half." We do a 40/60 split. I actually love talking about money and writing things down. She doesn't. I am very proud of my credit score, I love investing! I follow/listen to people like Dave Ramsey, Suzie Orman, John Bogle, Warren Buffett and websites like The motley fool.

I really try to invest with companies that have been around forever, and companies that pay dividends. Long-term investments. I am self-taught, so I agree that everyone has to do money the way that makes them feel comfortable. I may not be 100% right either. But I love learning about it and watching my investments grow.
