How do you budget as a couple? (thelemmy.club)

I'm curious how you budget as a couple or budget with family. Does one person take the lead and it's their duty? Are you equal participants? Does each person leverage their strengths?

What works for you?

Yes, we were transparent and honest with each other. We didn't have any reason not to be.

I suppose I should also mention that she made more than I did at some point, and didn't mind paying a little more because of this. So, even though things may not have always been split 50/50 we still tried to balance things in a way that we both felt was even. We each paid our fair share and treated each other equally.
