Right now (or when you wrote this post rather!) I’m in the same boat as you – I make about a third what he does at his job! I secretly think he should pay for more because of this but at the same time, it’s not his fault I make less. Basically we just split things down the middle. We’re pretty technical too – like if we take a trip, we make a budget and contribute exactly the same amount. It just works! I’m hoping when we eventually get married, we’ll pool our money as a percentage of income. So whoever makes more has a bit more spending money to play with 🙂

I wanted to when we moved into our second condo together, but he was unwilling.. Now that we’re broke up I’m really glad we didn’t. I never even managed to get all of my stuff back from him, I can’t even imagine the pain in the ass it would have been to split finances! Especially since by the time we broke up I had more assets than him =p

Mostly because we don’t live together, but also because we’re both still students and don’t have that much to begin with. I’m teaching him more about investing what he has though 😛

Anyway, for this vintage post, my comment is that it seems like you’re totally taking a great approach to finances at this point. You both aren’t married, and are in different financial situations, so your reasons make sense to me. Good to be thinking of these things now.
