UPDATE in OP: Splitting costs on a trip

[citymama]

FYI I can’t recommend enough an app called Splitwise that my cousins and I recently used on a girls trip to Italy. You can split different things different ways, each enter costs you covered and then “settle up” at the end where it gives you the sum of who owes who how much. Allows for transparency so you can track as you go, ideally enter costs right away so there are no surprises later.

Yes, we've used this too and it works really well!

I've used this at work, when as a grade level we had to purchase various items for an event, and it made it so much easier to figure out who owed who what.

For those who use Splitwise, do you use the free or paid version? I looked at the reviews on the App Store and learned that there were new restrictions on data entered per day with the latest version that required a monthly or annual subscription to avoid, but I couldn’t find out how much the subscription was.

On girls trips we could designate “Kitty” who kept track of expenses, first on paper the memo section on phone. Add everything up at end (taxi, tips, meals, room) and divide up. Kitty would issue the bill at the end and who owes what to whom. It always worked out. I like this method because it’s a self reporting thing. So if you have an individual that doesn’t like to spend as much money, but you really want to go to X restaurant, you make sure you are the one to pay. The. I would not include the tip in my total or something. I felt it was a treat to myself and everyone else on the trip. But in general I prefer traveling with people who don’t count every penny on the trip, but also acknowledge we all go through phases where some of us feel more flush than others.
