shared wealth

Pooled common resources

Shared wealth refers to resources, assets, or prosperity held or distributed collectively rather than concentrated in individual hands.

The term appears in discussions of economics, marriage, and social policy: They believed in shared wealth and split everything equally.

It can describe communal ownership, equitable distribution systems, or simply assets belonging to more than one party: The couple's shared wealth included the house and retirement accounts.
