SexismFreddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.
What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

My friends version...Similar, but they worked the other way round in that all pay goes into a joint 'household' account to pay for the bills and to keep something in reserve for emergencies, and after everything important is dealt with then whatever remains gets split into two and put into their own separate accounts.
I guess the main difference is that they each take 50% of the money, rather than it being dependant on what each person earns, so nobody has more than the other.
Slightly unfair if one does a huge amount of work, but evens it out if one does more work at home, or has passed up opportunities in the past to stay together (moving away for a new job or whatever).

we split it all equallyI'm earning more at the moment, but could easily change once the mrs gets chartered.
currently pay it all into one account, bar £100 each for whatever. few hundred goes in savings, and the rest is used for things. leftovers go into savings too.
we aren't limited to the £100 each to spend on stuff though. things like clothes and booze etc. comes out of the joint account too
