Newlywed household finances
Married. Now how do you handle money together?
The first shared ledger of your marriage — daily expenses, shared assets, travel. Futari gives every expense a place to live.
"Do we keep separate accounts or combine everything?"
There's no standard answer for newlywed finances. Some couples put everything together, some share only joint costs, some stay on a strict AA split. Futari's split modes cover 50/50, by ratio, and one person covering it, chosen per expense, so the ledger fits however you decide.
"The car, insurance, savings for a house — how do we keep all of it straight?"
Costs after the wedding go beyond everyday spending: assets, insurance, big purchases. Futari lets you link each expense to a specific asset, so the car and the insurance premium each have their own place and don't blur together.
"Travel spending always gets mixed up with everyday costs."
Futari's travel sub-ledger keeps trip spending separate. When you're back, you'll see exactly what the trip cost and who covered what — already recorded.

Common questions
- How should newlyweds handle household finances?
- There's no single best way — only what works for the two of you. What matters is writing it down so you both have clarity. Futari offers flexible split modes that can evolve as your life does.
- Should we combine our finances or keep them separate?
- Futari is one ledger the two of you share, not a merged account. Every expense records who paid and how it's split, so you don't have to combine your money to see it together. Split 50/50, by ratio, or let one person cover a whole category.
- What kinds of assets can we record in Futari?
- Cars (with fuel logs), homes, children, pets, plants, insurance, and general items. Each expense can be linked to the relevant asset.
