shared expenses with roommates, in the group chat you already have
living together runs on small shared money: the internet bill, the toilet paper nobody wants to buy twice, the groceries someone grabbed on the way home. the flat already has a whatsapp group; teresa sits in it and keeps the book.
the monthly rhythm
keep one tab per month. everyone texts what they paid as it happens - ๐ธ, done. at the end of the month, close it: teresa posts who owes who and the fewest transfers to square it, then open the next month's tab. no meeting, no reconstruction of six weeks of venmo archaeology.
sam: internet 599 ยท ๐ธ
ale: groceries 840 ยท ๐ธ
sam: @teresa close the tab
teresa: tab 'september' closed ๐ธ
sam is owed 180
to settle:
- @ale โ sam 180
fair without negotiating every receipt
splits you don't state are never assumed - "pizza 300, just ale and me" stays between the two of you. bills come with proof: send the photo of the electricity bill and it's attached with a ๐, visible on the shared page whenever anyone wants to check.
no drama by design
the worst part of shared money is the asking. here nobody asks a person - anyone asks the bot, any time, and the answer is arithmetic. the live page keeps everything transparent (list, totals, receipts) behind one link, no logins for anybody.

somebody has to keep the tab
she never forgets a cent, and she's already in your whatsapp.
