A shared view of household spending
Add household expenses with your partner or flatmates so everyone can see what was recorded. Rent, groceries, and other shared purchases no longer have to be reconstructed from memory at the end of the month. Review the list together when you settle up.
An expense appearing in the shared budget does not, by itself, establish a debt that the other person has accepted. You decide how to divide costs. Ferla never transfers the money.
A different workflow for money owed
If a friend owes you money, or you make a repayment, the shared ledger lets both people see the same record when they both use Ferla. One person adds an entry and the other confirms it. The payer reports a payment; the receiver confirms it.
If the amounts you each believe differ, both values remain visible. Ferla does not decide whose memory is right. That difference gives you something specific to discuss. Partial payments and the remaining balance can be tracked too.
- Invite the other person to the shared ledger.
- Record the debt or payment and wait for their confirmation.
- Review the remaining amount together and resolve any difference directly.
Make the record useful later
Add a short note about what a payment covered, especially when several similar expenses occur in one month. Record cash repayments as well. The ledger can only reflect information that both of you have entered and confirmed; it cannot detect payments by itself.
A few useful answers
Does a shared budget automatically create a debt?
No. The household budget and the mutually confirmed debt ledger are separate workflows.
Can we send money through Ferla?
No. You settle payments yourselves and use Ferla to keep the record.
