TECH TUESDAY: WHAT DO YOU DO about household ACCOUNTS?

Hi y’all, I want to understand exactly how you navigate your method around shared accounts in different situations.

As I was trying to produce a spotify playlist for you for next week’s tech Tuesday post, I ran into some problems with being not able to gain access to the household account. Grrr. having been married practically a decade, it seems that we have a number of yours-mine-ours scenarios in which we duplicate accounts or should log in as each other. I question what other households do for books, movies, shopping, banking, etc.

Calendaring, we got handled. however whatever else? Hmmm.

We have a shared email account that we utilize for institution communication as well as many buying sites. between juggling our tradition (singleton) accounts as well as strange system mergers (like when Amazon ate Audible), things are rather murky in other areas:

For our schedules, we each have google calendar as well as a shared household view. Each of the kids’ institutions utilizes it too, so I have no complaints

On iTunes, we are my husband. We both understand his username as well as our super-secret password. Otherwise, we’d have to re-purchase every song, movie, as well as app. No thanks.

On Amazon, I am prime, as well as the main shopper. We are each ourselves for buying stuff; nevertheless on kindle and, now, audible, we are my husband. I do not understand the log in information so I’m always asking him to do it; Kindle enables us to have different gadgets that he has to manage.

On netflix, we utilized to be individuals up until some strange “upgrade” made his account dominant. Luckily, I understand the password.

On Hulu-plus, we are him as well as I don’t understand exactly how to log in.

On Paypal, we are HIM as well as other banking sites, we are each ourselves.

Basically, even though I discovered exactly how to program our household VCR in second grade, I can barely view TV without my husband’s help.

There has to be a much better way. have you figured it out?
