Three approaches that work:
1. Fully combined: All income into one pot. All expenses from one account. Simple but requires full trust and alignment.
2. Split proportionally: Each contributes a percentage of income to shared expenses (rent, groceries, bills). Rest is personal spending.
3. Yours, mine, ours: Joint account for shared expenses. Individual accounts for personal spending. Most popular.
Key rules: Set a spending limit for purchases without consulting partner ($100-200). Have monthly money meetings (15 mins). Use FinanceGuide to track shared expenses and split bills.
