LinkedIn Post on Couples Splitting Bills Fuels Debate Over Marriage Finances

Supporters argue that tracking apps like Splitwise foster transparency in couple finances

Overview

  • A Gurugram-based couple earning over Rs 30 lakh each annually logs every shared cost—from rent and groceries to Swiggy bills—in Splitwise and Google Sheets.
  • Ayushmaan Kapoor called their meticulous expense-splitting “baffling” and likened marriage to a co-founded company requiring pooled resources.
  • The LinkedIn post went viral on July 16 and has prompted extensive discussion across social media and news platforms.
  • Advocates say expense-tracking tools help partners optimise budgets and avoid misunderstandings rather than keep score.
  • Commenters urged that couples formalise money-management conversations before marriage to ensure long-term financial alignment.
