I've decided that if and when I get a job, I'd like to separate our finances. This is not to say that I will not take the responsibility for paying back my loan. I will take full responsibility. However, I'd really like to try splitting up the finances. Give my husband an opportunity to feel what it feels like to have a little freedom with his money. Waste it. Blow it. Save it.
I think it would be a good experience for him so see. I've done some research online and found some websites that give some pointers on how to divide up the expenses. I'm a fan of percentages. If my percentage of the income is 40%, then I pay 40% of the expenses. I thought about stuff like groceries and gas. When one person pays for something, then the other one has to reimburse the other one for the percentage. I think it would be easier to have our own cars, but that may not happen right away. I'm really thinking pretty seriously about it.
The last full time job I had I was very close to it when I resented yet another thing of mine being sold to meet expenses. This time is was another car. Yes. I'd had another car of mine sold, and a scooter. All cash I never saw yet disappeared.
