"We're identical twins – we share everything including our money, underwear and toothbrush" - video Dailymotion

Real Fix

Credit: SWNS / Mason Twins  Meet the identical twins who share their money, underwear and toothbrush – and split everything equally.  Kennedy and Morgan Mason, 23, grew up sharing the same room, clothes and friends and say having a twin is like an "extension of yourself".   The sisters shared a room until they both went to Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, US, in September 2020 and now live together – and are looking to buy a house.  Kennedy and Morgan, who both work in technology, say they have "complimentary personalities" but share almost everything – including their finances.

00:00 Here's a list of all the weird things we've shared as twins and it gets progressively worse.

00:03 My bed, is a bank account, all clothing, shirts, pants, underwear, food that's not meant for sharing.

00:08 This is like lollipops, candy, razor, deodorant, even toothbrush sometimes.

00:12 We will share it. I don't give a [bleep]

00:14 We shared a womb. What's a toothbrush?

00:15 A toothbrush, bro.

00:16 I'm Morgan.

00:22 And I'm Kennedy.

00:23 And we're the Mason twins.

00:25 When we were growing up is that we were always each other's best friend.

00:27 And our parents kind of saw us as a collective unit.

00:30 I think like some parents will really differentiate their twins.

00:33 And it wasn't in a bad way. Our parents just like really wanted to foster the relationship.

00:37 And so pretty much everything we just did collectively.

00:40 Shared friends, like shared interests.

00:43 So that kind of became our shared identity.

00:46 Our parents kind of like just gave us like one of everything.

00:49 So like a room, all of our clothes.

00:53 Like so when we were younger, obviously like shared a style

00:56 and had like a very shared identity in that way.

00:57 So we like shared all of our clothes, shared our room.

01:00 Like anything that someone bought us, typically they were like collective presents.

01:04 So that was like, that was pretty like normal throughout our childhood.

01:08 But then like as we've gotten older, we share like finances

01:11 and like those kinds of like more important things too.

01:14 An apartment, a dog, a car.

01:16 Yeah, we like just bought a car together.

01:17 So like anything we've like we bought by collectively, like both of our names are on it.

01:21 We're looking to buy a house and like that will be like something we like buy together.

01:24 There are like very few like important things in our life that I think we've done separately.

01:28 We even went through a phase in college, like I think we were like eating the same thing every day.

01:32 We were doing the exact same things every day.

01:33 We were working out the exact same amounts.

01:35 But I think now we found like a really good cadence of like we can have our own lives,

01:38 but still do the majority of the important stuff together.

01:41 We're twins. We're gonna share a bank account.

01:42 We're twins. We have no concept of alone time.

01:45 We're twins. We're only gonna text you in a group chat.

01:47 We're twins. Only I can call my sister a d***.

01:50 Living in California, like everything is so expensive.

01:54 And so I think that we've done it as children and then like realized it made our lives a lot better as we got older.

01:59 We were like, oh, like we can like afford a lot more, like get a nicer car, like buy a house, all these things.

02:04 It's like kind of like being married, but not being married because you get all those benefits.

02:07 So I think that it just like made sense for our life.

02:10 Logistically, the way it works is like we just have like one share account and like every all the money from our jobs,

02:15 like freelancing, modeling, whatever we're doing, all goes into one place.

02:19 And like I manage all our finances for both of us, which is like pretty easy.

02:22 I feel like it takes the pressure off of both of us, like, you know, having to do all these like long budgeting conversations or whatever.

02:27 Yeah. Or like me like checking obsessively.

02:29 And then it's like it's nice that I feel like I can just say like this is what I like want to do or something.

02:35 And then Kennedy kind of handles that.

02:36 All of our investment accounts, like our 401k, all that money is all shared.

02:40 I'm gifting Kennedy equity right now.

02:42 Yeah. So we have a joint retirement fund.

02:44 We have a joint retirement fund.

02:46 So I guess we're retiring together.

02:47 Hope we always love each other.
