Splitting Bills Fairly with Housemates
Splitting Bills Fairly with Housemates
Money is one of the biggest sources of tension in shared houses. Getting a system in place early keeps things fair and friendships intact.
Set up a joint account or app
Apps like Splitwise or a shared Monzo pot make tracking expenses painless. Everyone can see what has been paid and what they owe — no awkward conversations needed.
Agree the rules upfront
Decide early how you will handle shared groceries versus personal shopping. Will you split everything equally, or only shared items? A five-minute chat now saves months of resentment.
