Question-home budgeting for dummies

Two people, A and B both have their own personal bank accounts.

They also have a shared joint bank account for joint and household expenses.

A and B both pay the same amount into the joint account each month.

Whilst on holiday a joint expense is incurred.

For convenience A uses his personal credit card to pay the amount which is £100.

He will have to settle his credit card bill of £100 from his personal account.

How can B pay their share of the £100 back to A and would paying the £100 from the joint account to A be the wrong thing to do ?
Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    B pays A £50 from their personal account or £100 from the joint account. Either way only £50 is B's money.
