We have a joint account for bills. We both lob a couple of hundred a month into it and go out for a nice meal when there's enough of a surplus.
It's not difficult.

It seems that ALL the bills bar one have remained roughly stable over the last 15 years or so (give or take a little inflation)
The ONE exception has been the food and household consumables bill, which has nearly doubled.
Now that is a surprise, considering I now do most of the cooking and paying for delivery currys.
However, the numbers don't lie. so tomorrow I'll be upping my debit to 120 quids.

nearly 20 years ago I moved in with mrs EO and we split all the common bills in half. just running costs.
house insurance
food
gas and lekky
ground rent
council tax
water
TV licence
sky rental
phone
and it came to £5200 or £100 per week. So I coughed up 60 pw. The idea being that she was struggling, eventually inflation would catch up, then she would be carrying me for a few years, then we would review the numbers to make it fair once again.
that time has now arrived.
so what do you reckon ? will I get my @rse burned ?
