Why Splitting Bills Matters
Let’s be real—money can be a touchy subject in student houses. Without a clear plan, you could face:
❌ Arguments over who owes what.
❌ Late payments that cause extra fees.
❌ One person fronting all the money and chasing housemates for payments.
The solution? A simple, fair system that keeps everyone accountable and bills stress-free!
Step 1: Agree on a System
💡 Will one person pay all bills and get reimbursed?
💡 Or will each housemate take responsibility for different bills?
💡 The easiest option? Split everything equally from the start!
Step 2: Use Bill-Splitting Apps
📲 Apps like Housr track who owes what—so no one "forgets" to pay their share!
📲 You can see expenses in real time and avoid those awkward “you still owe me” conversations.
