See best thing you can do 25-30% invest from both of your inhand salary.. Total combined EMIs shouldnt be touching more than 35% of your combined salary.. have life and health insurance. Have an emergency fund. Thats all if you both dont have financial commitments spend for your good.

If equal splitting, then Splitwise app helps. If unequal salaries and unequal splitting, do a calc of what expenses they can handle in their % e.g. only petrol and rent. Because salaries vary over time, you'll have to track it till expenses over time. You'll need proper discussion with your partner with the plan. Ensure no egos get in the way.
