Questions
Everything you need to know.
Do we need a joint bank account?
Not necessarily. Many couples keep separate accounts and use a shared credit card or app (Splitwise) for joint expenses. The budget template works with or without a joint account.
What if our incomes are very different?
Proportional splitting is usually the fairest method – each pays a percentage equal to their share of total income. The guide includes a calculator example.
Is the breakup protocol legally binding?
No – it's a written agreement, not a legal contract. For significant assets (house deposit, large savings), consider a cohabitation agreement drafted by a lawyer. But even a simple written plan helps prevent fights.
What about debt – whose debt is whose?
Unless you co‑sign, debt remains individual. The breakup protocol includes a section clarifying that each partner is responsible for their own pre‑relationship debt and credit cards.
How often should we revisit our budget?
Every 6 months or after major changes – new job, pay rise, moving, or starting a big savings goal. The guide includes a 'review reminder'.
