Try this
- Choose the single shared expense or payment decision that needs agreement.
- State the amount or limit you are comfortable sharing and ask about the other person’s practical preference. Leave unrelated account details out of the conversation.
A worked example

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.
Before you leave it here
Avoid asking for private financial details that are not needed for the specific agreement.
