What does he do with the rest of the money?
You say he is your fiance, but this does not sound like a committed relationship.
Maybe it is just me, but IMO you should not have "his bills" and "your bills." Especially after you "bought a house together."
It should be a list of all bills, including his mortage and your loans.
Then there should be a list of all income, including what he gets from renting and makes contracting on average after taxes (best to be cautious with this, if he normally works 18 days a month maybe just budget on him working 15).
You should subtract the first list from the second list, then look at whats leftover every month. From there you should both decide how much to save and where (IRAs, ING etc) and how much each of you should have in personal spending money (these amounts do not have to be equal though).
If you factor his average salary at working x number of days then I would have a seperate account to set aside money from any extra days he works for months when he works less.
From your post it just sounds like there is to much his/your money thinking for a soon to be marriage.
