If you’re in the UK and you earn £2,600 monthly and your partner earns £2,200 monthly, the family income is £4,800. Drop That Odogwu nonsense in your village. Take £2k and sort your bills. You can support your families and friends with £500. You give each other £400 each and invest the balance of £1500 monthly. You cannot have a working wife and all she is paying is water bill or WiFi. She is fundamentally useless. The whole point of 2 income household is that income from both parties sort family bills. We usually use UK for context so people can have sense, but this has nothing to do with location. It applies everywhere. If you earn N2m monthly and your partner earns N350k monthly, the family income is N2.350m, and the family bills would be sorted from there. Anyone who says “do something, no matter how small” is an evil person. Nobody who says that has any intention of doing anything substantial or meaningful. It is psychology. They are simply saying that doing something small is better than doing nothing and they expect you to be grateful they did something. A family runs on “we are in this together.” You cannot exclude money in togetherness because you want to be a selfish prick with no regard for family wholeness!
