There are a vast number of so called couples amongst youngsters today. That includes you and me ! Most relationships should start with a aim for marriage of course. Have you ever gave a thought on the issue of money between you and your partner? You obviously want to marry the person you are dating right now and before you know it,the wedding bells are ringing and YOU are in the spotlight!! (its prob just SO long for me!! =p) So in the near future, who would then pay for the house maintanance, the bills? who would pay for the food, the groceries? And when children comes into the picture, who would then pay for their education and the leisure of the family?
When two ppl begin a relationship, sooner or later the issue of money will be raised. It may be presented in terms of gender ideologies : I am a man and so i should pay for you. It could be a question of maintaining equality: I shall pay for the meal because you have paid for the cinema. Well, as the relationship becomes more serious, the couple may contemplate sharing a house. The big question is If one persons earns more than the other, should each pay half the rent or the one who earns more pay more ??
2 types -joint bank account or individual account ??
blablabla (havnt think yet)
In conclusion, there is an association between how a couple managed their money and socioeconomic characteristics such as the total income of the household, the sources of that income, the relative amounts contributed by both partners and their education level. Handling financial issues with your spouse is not a laughing matter, for believe or not, a wrong desicion in money can and will lead to seperation !
