I can't believe people still do this with joint accounts! Feels so old fashioned. I mean, by all means have a joint account for bills, but 80-90%!?! Is that assuming really high costs and low income? I'd not want more than 30-50% going into a joint account

Wait, are we talking about roommates , or spouses? It sounds like you are talking about room mates.

I put 100% of my paycheck after savings (joint savings) into the joint account. She puts 100% of her check. We get an allowance every Friday. We're a couple, everything is shared. Also a huge income disparity between us means if I kept 50% of my income, I'd be pocketing more than her monthly take home. That is far from fair in a marriage.
