<human>: I have been with my girlfriend for 7 years and I plan on proposing later this summer. We are currently looking for a new apartment to start living together for the first time. I make roughly 62k and she's around 50k. She doesn't have the best grasp on saving money and could use some structure saving money. I happen to be very good with money and saving in general. I am pretty frugal with my spending.  We were thinking of opening a joint savings account before we move in to an apartment together and start some automatic contributions every two weeks. 

So, two questions:

1. Is this a bad or good idea? Keep in mind... I am marrying this girl. Money is already saved for a ring.

2. I saw some posts suggesting a percentage split for a joint account. Does anyone suggest this for our situation?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Going to marry this girl (proposing this year). Thinking of opening a joint savings account to give some structure for us as we save to move in to an apartment together.
