    I’ll pass on the suggestion! For now, you might try creating a group with an extra member named “Pool” – you could have everyone pay that fake member some money to start, and then that fake member could pay for expenses that come out of the group pool. Hope that helps!

    Not sure if this is possible or not. I sort of have it working but it doesn't seem meant to do it.

    Here is my situation.
    We have a lake house. Three families own it.
    In order to handle all the expenses like mortgage / bills I created a new bank account. Everyone dumps money into that bank account. Then i have all our bills pull from that bank account.

    In splitwise i created a dummy account called Bank. Then when a bill comes i say the bank paid that bill.

    This somewhat works but it will say things like the bank owes us money when we add extra money into the bank for the month. (we just want that money sitting there so when a new bill comes in it pulls from there)

    Also if you split equally it would be nice to say not to this generic account. Because it is generic and not paying a portion of the bills. (I assume i can probably do this in the paid version)
