What’s on the Sharing Money poster
A 4-row table: Model · How · Trade-off.
Common arrangements, each with a real trade-off.
- Fully joint — Everything pooled — Simplest; least autonomy
- Fully separate — Split bills, own accounts — Most autonomy; unfair on unequal incomes
- Proportional — Joint bills, contribute by share of income — Fairest on unequal income…
- Yours, mine, ours — Joint for bills, personal for the rest — Common compromise
Agree in advance what counts as a joint expense and what threshold requires discussion. The threshold prevents most arguments.

- Who is the Sharing Money poster for?
- Sharing Money belongs to the Money section rather than to a school year, because money is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning basics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Sharing Money poster?
- There is no correct model. There is only the one you have both agreed to explicitly. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Sharing Money belongs on the wall where that money work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Sharing Money?
- Structuring Accounts, The 50/30/20 Budget and How You Pay Changes What You Spend sit alongside Sharing Money in the Money section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Structuring AccountsThe 50/30/20 BudgetHow You Pay Changes What You Spend
- Is the Sharing Money poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Sharing Money downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Money section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Sharing Money poster print at?
- Sharing Money is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Sharing Money loses nothing.Printing guide
