Living with a roommate can definitely help cut down on expenses. You get to split not only the rent, but the TV, internet, gas, electric and household items. The problem is when you need to figure out who owes what and how much they owe. Today, I’m going to show you a great website that simplifies the process.
Billshare is a very simple service that will split bills among 2 or more people. First, sign up for an account then invite your roommates to join. Then, whenever someone gets a bill, they just need to go on the website and click “Add new receipt.” When this is finished, an email will get sent out to all of the other roommates and the website will tell them a new bill has been added. The other roommates can then log in and tell Billshare when they have paid there roommate.
Billshare also gives some useful stats on your expenses and keeps a running total of who owes what. Give it a shot and simplify your bills.
This is super useful for roommates, I can tell you it has probably been the easiest/painless way of splitting the cost of things. For example I use Praz's butter all the time, so now if I have been excessively using his butter, he can put the cost of butter on billshare and I will receive an email saying that i owe half the bill.
