How can I make percentage split transactions automatically round?

My partner and I split all expenses on one credit card 50/50. I memorize the transaction as percentages but if the dollar amount contains an odd number of cents ($17.37), then it makes me go through a couple of steps to post the rounded amount. Not a big deal but annoying. Any thoughts?

Thanks

If you did the moral thing and got LEGALLY married, chances are you wouldn't have to be so anal about your expenses. Your attitude, e.g. God help that you should have to pay ONE effing penny more than your partner, is the reason so many marital partnerships go "south". Marriage is SUPPOSED to be a total union of resources, including FINANCES.

Once again, the Reverend has spoken. What would we do without the "morality police"?

Sharx35, maybe just once you could respond "on-point".

It's no laughing matter. I do hundreds of Canadian income tax forms every year for clients. I make it clear, to common-law couples, that I prepare the taxes in such a manner, that, COMBINED, they will pay the least possible amount of taxes to the Canadian government. I don't care if ONE of the couple ends up paying more than their "supposed fair share"--key is that the TOTAL taxes they pay collectively is as low as possible.

Re your cited case--I keep a Quicken cash account showing my wife's cash transactions and I keep a Quicken Cash account showing MY cash transactions. ONE joint-checking account. Various broker accounts, ALL IN JOINT NAMES, save for the RRSP (like your IRA) accounts which legally HAVE to be in individual names. ALL non-cash expenses are paid from the joint chequing account or the JOINT credit-card account. Deposits are made into the joint chequing account without ANY concern over how much each individual CONTRIBUTES or SPENDS. We are an economical UNIT so it doesn't matter a tinker's damn who spends what.

Sometimes it IS a matter of educating some clients so that they understand what is BEST for them. Since they don't have the skills and training that I have, re Canadian income tax, this is part of the service I render.

In Canada, "wang" is slang for "prick". In the U.S.????

I have clients of various colours, races, ethnicities, religions, sexual persuasion, marital statuses, etc.. Their money is ALL good. I do not moralize, I simply point out how various things affect the income taxes they pay, bottom line.
