Fair A Roommate's Guide to Splitting Bills Without Losing the Friendship
You didn't move in together expecting to fight about money. But somehow, it always comes back to who paid for what — the awkward Venmo request, the "I thought you already paid that," the slow build of resentment over a grocery bill nobody agreed on.
Fair Share fixes the real not bad roommates, but the absence of a system. In short, practical chapters, you'll learn how to choose a bill-splitting method that actually fits your household, have the money conversation without it turning into a confrontation, and handle the situations that trip up even good roommate relationships — uneven incomes, a summer electric bill that doubles, a roommate who moves out mid-lease, or one who just won't pay.
Every chapter comes with a ready-to-use worksheet or template, so you're not just reading advice — you're building a system you'll actually use. By the end, you'll have a complete a shared bills tracker, a grocery log, a payment agreement, and a plan for ending things cleanly if the arrangement ever does.
If you're tired of money being the thing that quietly wrecks a good living situation, this is the book that fixes it — one clear system at a time.
