The four boxes
Draw four boxes: arrived, plain, sweet, ants. Fill them for the week you just lived, not the week you wish you had lived. Use shop names for the ants. The boxes are a snapshot, not a trial.
If you share money, mark which boxes are yours alone. Mixed boxes become arguments. Separate boxes become a conversation with actual figures.
A pretend example. A sample week: arrived 0 because payday is next week, plain 210, sweet 40, ants 18 at the same bakery. The bakery is the only ant worth a sentence.
Try this. Fill the four boxes once, even if two of them are zero.
