Honestly, most days I’m agreeing with what Danielle is saying when it comes to finances, but the most recent episode (13/11/23) when Danielle asks Yohan to pay half the rent, plus bills etc. I think was super unfair. She has an American job, which pays American wages. Yohan is/was working for Dominican wages.
When Yohan said if he contributes the same he will have nothing left for himself. And I agree with him (if these facts are true)
In my personal opinion, I think financial contributions should be split by % of income. My partner (33M) contributes more to our household because he earns more. If I (29F) contribute the same, I wouldn’t have any personal savings or extra money for myself. When I was earning more, I was contributing to the household more. It goes both ways…
Because he told her last season he could not afford the apartment. If my husband made the decision to rent or buy something and then told me I had to pay half of it when I told him A) I don’t want it and B) I cannot afford to pay half, I wouldn’t contribute either. Jamming her fingers in her ears and disregarding what he’s saying isn’t working out well for her. But then again she’s didn’t accumulate $80K in toll violations by making intelligent financial decisions.
