Although I am married for 7 years, and me and my wife earn almost equal...when it comes to managing expenses, the constant issue I face is she is not interested to share even 20-30% of common expenses. The fight arises out of this every now and then, it totally depends on her mood at the end of month whether she shares it or not. She will straight away say " I don't want to share this month, you only have to do it " How to deal with this situation
Find new wife.
If it’s about splitting expenses, then split everything including the money she pays to look good for you ie clothes and makeup and parlour and sanitary napkins etc…. You are literally asking money from a wife who you should be nurturing. Shame on you
Be straight forward and equally decide the expenses. After marriage it's a joint account. One person can't enjoy or save more money at the expense of other. Be fair an clear. If you have equal income then expenses should be divided in equal and savings should be in equal. If there is selfishness among partners, the marriage can't work for long.
Maybe in the start of the month itself, you both can decide ki average cost of common expense is getting around let's say 50k. Then you both can decide maybe in % terms or absolute terms ki how much money both of you are ready to spare. For simplicity I am considering equal contribution. Then you both can start putting 25k each and use it for the common expenses and maybe use the remaining money for next month. If more money is required then you both can start putting more money from after wards. So no stress at end of month.
Question is what is she doing with her money then? Also, is she insecure about u? Are u sharing her what ur financial goals are and does ur both goals align? Is she interested in financial planning with u?
Me n my husband are earning equal. We don't split expenses. It's like whoever sees it first or gets time pays it. No hard and fast rule. We have invested in joint property and same it's like we pay as the bill comes. Like we never sit down n do 50 50 or talk about who is paying more or who is paying less. Whoever is spending more in day to day expenses will obviously have less money at the end of the day n other contributes more in the property than.

Is there any ratio in which you split your expenses? Based on who earns more or based on gender?
