For the last decade or so, my SO and I have been more or less dividing our expenses, and Venmo/ PayPal-ing the other as needed (rent, etc).

I know a lot of couples use a shared account that they both contribute to via direct deposit. How many of you do this? Any drawbacks or other options I haven’t mentioned?

    We have a shared credit card for groceries, vacations and bills. She manages it, she tells me what half of it is at the end of the month. We’re fortunate to have very similar salaries, but if we didn’t, you adjust the split to your version of fair.
