Hi,

I have just started to use Gnucash.
But I don't understand how i can manage the following situation under
Gnucash :
I have a checking account and a savings account.
My Girlfriend has also two accounts.
And we have two joint accounts
Thatis to say :
Assets
|-Current Assets
|  |-My accounts
|  |  |- Checking account
|  |  |- Savings account
|  |
|  |-My Girlfriend account
|  |  |- Checking account
|  |  |- Savings account
|  |
|  |-Joint accounts
|  |  |- Checking account
|  |  |- Savings account
|  |
...

How can I do the following : Keep track of what amout of money each one
has used for shared expenses (flat rent, food, electricity bills, phone
bills, etc.).
We can contribute to shared expenses by using our accounts to pay bills
for example, or transfering money from our acounts to one af the joint
accounts.

I really don't know how to do this. So any advice will be welcomed !

Phred.
