Community Clubs & Shared Money Guides
Independent, plain-English resources for people who manage money together — couples, roommates, families, trips, and local groups. Learn how to split costs fairly, set simple rules, and avoid common conflicts.
Prefer a private group? Create simple club rules (and stick to them)
Use our templates to define: who contributes, when you settle up, how refunds work, and what happens if someone is late. Clear rules prevent most drama.

CHECKLISTS • TEMPLATES • EXAMPLES
We publish step-by-step guides for shared budgets: rent & bills, trips, group gifts, club dues, and community challenges. Save time, reduce misunderstandings, and keep everything transparent.
Pool expenses, not relationships
A “pool” doesn’t need to be complicated. Start with clear shared rules, a simple tracking method, and a settlement rhythm that keeps things fair and drama-free.
Expense-splitting guides that actually work
SPLIT COSTS FAIRLY
Rent, utilities, groceries, trips, gifts — we compare the most common methods (equal split, weighted split, by usage), and explain where each method backfires.
Transparency without spreadsheets from hell
TRACKING & RULES
Clear categories, receipts, a shared log, and simple “what counts / what doesn’t” rules. This is how groups stay aligned without daily arguments.
Set roles and rules your group will follow
CLUB RULES
A healthy club is mostly process: roles, boundaries, and simple decisions. We provide templates you can adapt in minutes.
