Our roommate spreadsheet went from 14 fights in April to zero since June
Back in April my two roommates and I were arguing about money almost every week, and I counted 14 separate fights in the group chat, mostly over who owed what for groceries and the internet bill. So on May 1st I started a shared sheet with every bill, who paid, and the date it cleared, and I made everyone log their own stuff instead of texting me. Last night I checked the chat and we haven't had a money fight since June 2nd, which is 61 days of zero drama. The sheet takes about 5 minutes a week and it also stopped the little stuff like someone grabbing a $9 pizza and never getting paid back. Has anyone tried a shared card on top of a sheet like this, or does that just make it worse?
