There's not much space to explain the options but dedicated purchases would mean that you've split it by :one pays for mortgage the other pays for nursery as an example. So not down right the middle 50/50 but rounded up, kinda?
If there's an option not mentioned please comment so I can update (i hope?)

50/50 but we have a joint account for the bills and the rest of our money is ours to spend on what we wish in our personal account.

I pay everything from my account, we do not have a joint account. My partner pays half towards the house bills (rent, gas and electric, water, council tax, internet). I pay 2/3rds of nursery fees. I pay for everything else for our little boy. But I do earn more than my partner.

We work our bills out as an apportionment of our wages- he earns more so he pays 60%, I pay 40%. This money goes into a joint account, then we keep our own accounts for things we want for ourselves.

The account for bills is in his name but we both have access. Then he will pay for nursery when she starts and he pays most of the bills because he earns more, I do the food shop and buy things for my daughter like nappies.
okay where is my girly group because i know you’re hiding somewhere 😭
i’m looking for a little group of girls around brisbane who actually want genuine friendships — coffee/matcha dates, brunch, cute little outings, shopping, walks, dinners, playdates if you have kids, sending each other stupid reels and eventually getting to the point where we can just show up at each other’s houses looking feral 😂
i’m a mum of two but you definitely don’t have to be a mum. i’d actually love a mix of girls where our entire friendship doesn’t revolve around being parents.
i’m into beauty, skincare, books, reality tv, spirituality/psychic stuff, cute outfits, y2k everything and having conversations that somehow go from completely unserious to deep life shit within five minutes.
i’m not looking for the “we should totally catch up!!” and then never speak again type of friendship 😭 i want my actual girls. group chat, spontaneous plans, checking in on each other, celebrating birthdays, the whole thing.
bonus points if you’re a little introverted, a little unhinged and also wondering how adults are supposed to make proper friends 😂
where are youuuu 🤎

Anyone else have a blue collar husband and tends to be solo parenting, on survival mode while they work long hours ? It gets lonely here and could use some relatable connections! 🫶🏻

Why is making friends in your 40’s so hard?! I’m 45, SAHM and have 3 kids with a big age gap. Looking for a texting bestie that actually responds. Let’s chat, send each other memes and support each other. Don’t care where you live! Honesty, non-judgmental and a sense of humor is a must. Let’s talk
about our kids but also ourselves and anything else because let’s be real, it’s all about the kids 🤣 I love plants, reading, true crime and crafting. Throw some iced coffee in there and my new bestie and I’m a happy girl!

I’d love to find some mums who can relate to this 🤍
I’ve been feeling a little extra alone lately, and I’ve realised how much I miss having that “someone checking in on you” kind of support.
I lost my mum when I was little, and my dad isn’t present in my life. I also have a pretty complicated/dysfunctional family situation, so I don’t really have that parent or family network that a lot of people naturally have around them.
I’m a mum myself now, and sometimes it hits me that there isn’t really anyone who’s going to randomly call and ask, “Are you okay? How are you coping with the kids?” — and I think I’m craving that kind of mutual support and friendship.
I’m not looking for sympathy at all. I’d actually love to hear from other mums who have a similar experience — whether you’ve lost a parent, are estranged from family, have an absent parent, or just don’t have much of a family support system.
It would be so lovely to make some friendships where we can check in on each other, have a chat when things feel hard, celebrate the good stuff together, and just know there’s someone who gets it. 🥹🤍
If this sounds like you too, please message me. I’d genuinely love to connect.
