We share our salaries 50/50, And It Pushes Us to Work Even Harder- Two Best-friends Brags

Two inseparable friends, Caitlin Emiko and Tahlia Edwards, are proving that friendship can go far beyond just hanging out. The duo revealed that they’ve been splitting their salaries evenly between them — no matter who earns more.

Caitlin shared that people are often shocked to hear about their unique financial arrangement, but for them, it’s all about mutual support and trust.

They say the practice not only strengthens their bond but also motivates them to work harder

She said: “People are usually shocked, especially because we’re not a couple.

“They think it’s so strange.

“We get a lot of ‘I could never do that with my friends’ – but it’s what works for us.”

She added: “We were doing everything together – coffee, lunch, dinner – we were practically attached at the hip.

“Once we decided to move to New York together [from Australia], I put it forward and said it makes sense for us to combine our money.

“The benefits are accountability and also stability.”

“Tahlia has a salary and I am a freelancer so we have supported each other during slower freelance months, and had the freedom to say yes to things whenever I have bigger freelance months.

“I wouldn’t be able to do my creative job without her stable job, and she wouldn’t be able to do certain holidays and things without my creative income.

“So we honestly just optimise each other’s lives, and it’s really beautiful.”
