ShareHome Economics 101

Having housemate battles over chores in your sharehouse. This will answer all your questions to deliver a fair and reasonable outcome.


If you live with housemates, you’re all too familiar with this situation. You come home from a long day at work to find dishes in the sink, a bathroom yet to be cleaned, wet clothes in the dryer, and a stack of bills needing to be paid.
