I´d like to add that the question is related to using GnuCash to do this
job.

Thanks!

> Hi, people!

> I was wondering what can be the best way to track roommate's expenses.

> I share my apartment with a roommate, and we share the bills. The problem
> is that we do not have a fixed way to pay the bills. Let's say that in one
> particular month I pay the rent, the gas and the energy bills, and he pays
> the phone, internet and the water bills. The other month I can pay the
> water, energy and phone, and he pays the rent, gas and internet. The values
> are then added together and divided by 2. If I pay more money in bills than
> him this month, he gives me money. If he pays more in bills than me this
> month, I give him money.

> So, what is the best way to keep track of this kind of thing? I was

> Any ideas from the accounting guys out there? :)

> Cheers, and thanks!
