How long the setup takes

Roughly what to expect, and which parts you can do separately.

Most of it can be done in an evening, and only one part needs the two of you in the same place.

  • Recording your finances — around ten minutes between you. Either of you can enter household costs; each of you enters your own income and personal commitments.
  • The questions — around five minutes each, on your own phone, whenever suits you.
  • Seeing where you agree — a few minutes of reading.
  • The agreement — this is the conversation. Give it half an hour somewhere you can talk.
  • Your plan — immediate, once you have both accepted.

You can stop at any point and pick it up later. The questions remember where you got to.
