My wife and I are lucky enough that our incomes are similar and sufficiently high that we have only really had to worry about getting our mortgage coming out of the shared account and have split the other bills more by feel than by any real analysis (though we are slowly looking at changing that). I have to imagine…

My grandma taught my brother and I to play mah jong in the ‘70's, it was genuinely mind blowing to discover that the tile we’d been calling the ‘Red Dragon’ all along was the character for “middle” when I finally had a conversation about it with a Cantonese speaker.
