How to Split Expenses Fairly on a Road Trip

Road trips are fun, but money talks can be awkward. Here are 5 rules to keep the peace:

  1. Agree on a budget beforehand.
  2. Use an app (like Expenseek!) to track shared costs.
  3. Decide how to split gas. Drivers usually pay less.
  4. Rotate who pays for small items like snacks.
  5. Settle up daily or at the end of the trip.
