Example, made up

Saturday morning, breakfast on the floor of the new flat. Jonas and Mira have the laptop between them and are trying to work out who actually pays for what.

They are 31 and 29 and have lived together for three months. Each has an account, plus a joint one for rent and shopping. They want to know: what does our household cost, and can we save together?

Their first three months
  1. Week 1

    Three accounts instead of two.

    Rent and power go through the joint account, each transfers their share. The rest stays in their own accounts.

    In centino: The Overview shows all accounts together. Transfers between their accounts count as neither income nor spending.

  2. Month 1

    What does the shared household cost?

    Groceries, toiletries, furniture: much goes from the joint account, some things one of them pays privately.

    In centino: Spending & Income shows where the money goes, by category and across all accounts.

  3. Month 3

    A shared goal.

    They want to go to the sea in the summer. How much do they need to put aside each month?

    In centino: Under Saving goals they add the goal with an amount and a date and see whether they're on track.
