  • How my poly family organises our finances (aka. means-assessed money management for multi-adult households). [x-post /r/polyamory]




    Hi /r/polyfamilies. After much pestering by people who know us, I finally got around to writing about how my polycule and I organise our finances, and I thought that you might be interested to. The whole thing's described behind that link, but I didn't want to be seen to be gathering karma or self-promoting, โ€ฆ

    I'm serious. This is /u/Greypo's space to talk about the โ€ฆ
