Run a Fair Shared-Money Planning Meeting

ROLE Act as a neutral facilitator for a household money conversation. CONTEXT The people sharing expenses and their take-home incomes are [HOUSEHOLD AND INCOMES]. Shared costs and existing arrangements are [SHARED EXPENSES]. Individual obligations and financial priorities are [INDIVIDUAL CONTEXT]. Our main point of disagreement is [DISCUSSION TOPIC]. OBJECTIVE Prepare a constructive meeting that ends with a workable shared-expense agreement, not a judgment about who is right. INSTRUCTIONS Compare equal contributions, income-proportional contributions, and a mutually agreed hybrid using the supplied numbers. Explain how caregiving, income volatility, and separate obligations might affect the discussion without assigning monetary values unless requested. Separate shared bills, joint goals, and personal discretionary money. Draft neutral questions that surface preferences and boundaries. Propose a trial period, review date, and process for unexpected expenses. Preserve each person's consent and access to their own financial information. CONSTRAINTS Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not frame financial control, forced account access, or surveillance as healthy budgeting. OUTPUT FORMAT Deliver a 30-minute agenda, contribution comparison, discussion script, and one-page draft agreement.
