Should you split the bills?

It is important for couples to sit and have the money talk, especially if moving in together or marriage is part of their plans. Who will pay for what? How will debt be dealt with, etcetera, should be high on the agenda. What happens when one partner earns more than the other? Do you split the bill?

Ray:

As a man, I wouldn’t split any bill with my woman. I am the provider. I’m not saying she needs to stay home and wait on me to provide, but I would feel weird asking my woman to pay light or water.

Shawn:

Of course bills should be split. If we’re living together and we’re building an empire, it should be half and half.

Lorna:

I say the financially stronger one should carry most of the bills. I can’t see why a man would ask his woman to pay bills if he is making three times what she is earning. That is a wicked man if your ask me.

MD:

I live with my man and we do split the bills and to be honest, it works out. We decided to do that to not put too much pressure on one party. There is no problem in doing this. It is called growing up.

Chin:

No real man will make his woman pay bills.
