How My wife and I Split the Bills. And my wife and I split our bills. So I am going over bills that are reoccurring. So reoccurring bills every single month. First, I will go over the things for myself. So the biggest one on the list is rent. So every single month I pay $2,300 in rent. Number two on the list is food. So food every month comes to $1,000 or around $1,000. For context, it is me, my wife, and our three children. Number three on the list is our car payment. So I am leasing a BMW and our car payment comes to $589.28. And now of course we need insurance for the car and insurance comes to $496.81. Now next on the list is health and dental. So health insurance comes to around $100 a month. Dental comes to around $58 a month. And then we have our internet service. So for internet it comes to around $100 a month. We get our phone through the same service. So phone comes to around $100 a month as well. And that is all for me. And then for my wife, every month she pays around $0.

My wife and I “split” the bills—but not 50/50. I pay the actual bills, while she takes care of the kids and our home. Just because her contribution doesn’t come with a paycheck doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable. Marriage isn’t always about dividing everything equally—it’s about building a system that works for your family. #MarriageFinances #StayAtHomeMom #MoneyAndMarriage #PersonalFinance #MarriedLife
