It's hilarious that no amount of money in the world can buy you an honest friend. Sometimes I think we're going to be ok
Right through this door, sir! 
People really out there letting maymays dictate their life, huh?
Everyone must get their "take" out there.

These young gen Z MAGA dorks aren't old enough to really remember trump #1 and that is enough to hurt my head.
Time is a fuck and this is why we don't ever make a lot of progress. Young people become politically aware and want to try to fight the system "their own way" but that usually just means the ineffectual methods the older generation(s) tried. But you can't tell them nothing so off they go with their pithy signs to the scheduled and permitted protest. They write their congresspeople, they share their memes...
And nothing happens. Nothing changes, not really. They get disillusioned and move on. Rinse and repeat
I was going to make my own post but yours is basically my situation. I am the one who isn't really on top of it, like your partner. We both have our own bank accounts that we get our checks deposited into and then we have a joint bank account that we both contribute to. We have an excel spreadsheet for all of our bills and expenses. We take the total number and divide by two and each pay in our half. We make roughly the same amount of money so that is what we came up for "fair" on our joint bills. We also account for vacation funds and small/large projects and emergency funds. It's nice to have a round amount that I'm expected to put in every check. It's reliable
We each pay our car note out of what's left over after contributing to the joint account. What's left over in our personal accounts is for personal expenses like snacks and gas. It's also how we pay for our own hobbies. It's also a good way to hide a purchase like a birthday present.
If asked, I would show her my personal bank statements and she would show me hers. There's not really any mystery as to what goes on with our personal accounts. They're mostly used to save up for things the other wouldn't get anything out of. I couldn't expect my wife to throw down on a guitar she would never use for example.
The flip side of that is: why don't we just put it all in the same account and give each other a hobby allowance? I don't have a good answer. Maybe we will go that way some day.
Just wanted to add on to the conversation. I didn't start out as a very responsible person. Getting on a budget and having a bed time are the things that changed my life the most
God is that the setlist from the Eagles final forever farewell we mean it this time tour?
Well, you see we were mad at the terrorists back then. There wasn't time for nuanced discussion or fancy demonstrations. We had to go out and buy things or the terrorists would have won
They do this every year. I guess it gets to enough eyes and people still post it. The three of us with memory longer than a game of thrones book see it and are like "hey look it's that same thing again!" And everyone tells us to shut up because someone who hasn't seen it will see it and change the whole world or whatever
