We both get paid on different schedules and share rent, utilities, and groceries. What budget framework keeps things fair and simple without dozens of categories? Tools or templates that work well for two people would help. I'm mid-way through a busy season and trying to be realistic about my energy. If there are pitfalls you ran into, those would be super helpful to hear too. I'm in a small town, so options are limited and shipping can be slow.

If it matters: apartment setting, no special tools, and I'm in a pretty average climate.
