To Splitwise or Not To Splitwise? | Taboo money chats with Sophie McIntyre

Today's episode has the perfect representation of what a dinner table conversation with our friends would look like when discussing money. So luckily, we are joined by the dinner club queen herself, Sophie McIntyre, founder of Club Sup. Through the three courses of this episode, we share our money stories, and discuss whether the concept of "treating yourself" is problematic. We delve into navigating money with housemates and friends, and what is and isn't appropriate to add to Splitwise. And finally for dessert, we chat about being a founder and how to think about paying yourself, whilst also keeping a business afloat.

But the conversation doesn't end here... we want your thoughts!

1. Do you think the concept of 'treating yourself' is problematic?
2. How do the Splitwise politics work in your household?
3. Have you experienced issues in a friendship because of money? Tell us your stories...

Have you had to navigate paying yourself a salary as a founder? How did you decide what to pay yourself?
