Frequently asked questions
Joint or separate accounts?
Hybrid works best: joint account for shared expenses (rent, groceries, utilities), individual accounts for discretionary. Reduces conflicts.
How to split expenses fairly?
By income proportion. If one partner earns 60%, they cover 60% of shared expenses — not 50/50. Avoids resentment.
Childcare — plan separately?
Yes. Childcare, school fees, extracurriculars add up. Budget 10–20% of household income for 1 child in private schooling.
Where to save first?
(1) Emergency fund = 6 months expenses, (2) Retirement (PF + NPS + MF), (3) Children education, (4) Home goals. In that order.
