Why this matters
Many couples want to act like a team without giving up privacy or autonomy. A shared layer solves household coordination without requiring a joint bank account or full transaction visibility.
Separate accounts
How to budget together without combining everything
A practical “yours, mine, and ours” system for couples who want a shared household budget without merging all finances.
Short answer
Use Home for shared categories, limits, who paid, and who owes. Use Mine for personal purchases that only you can see. Both layers stay in one app without mixing their balances or reports.
How to handle it
- Define shared categories.
- Set a monthly household target.
- Choose the split rule for shared expenses.
- Track who paid from personal cards.
- Settle on a predictable rhythm.
Watch out for this
Do not confuse privacy with secrecy. The shared layer should be transparent; personal spending can remain personal.
