Splitting everything 50\/50 without considering each person\u2019s reality<\/h3>\n<p>Equity is more important than equality.

Start with small tests, such as sharing a savings goal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Taking out loans or taking on debt on impulse<\/h3>\n<p>Lending money or taking on your partner&#039;s bills without planning can unbalance the relationship and generate guilt, dependence or resentment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Be transparent.
