The two agreed on certain rules for the account, like being able to withdraw small amounts for video games and later for beer. They both had a goal of making it in the acting industry and had a mindset of helping each other become successful.

Matt and Ben have been friends since they were 8 years old after meeting in school, and they pooled their finances to make sure they had enough money for auditions. Damon shared: “It was unusual [to share a bank account], but we needed the money for auditions… [it was] a weird thing in retrospect… As long as one of us had money, we knew that the power wasn’t going to get shut off.” After Damon received a small part in the 1993 movie Geronimo: An American Legend, they had enough money to support their audition fund for a while. Matt added: “I remember after doing Geronimo, I was like, f**k, I probably had like 35 grand in the bank. I was like [to Affleck], “We’re good! We’re good for a year!”

Damon went on to say: “You were allowed to take out $10 and get quarters and go to [the arcade] and play video games. Eventually we were allowed to try to buy beer, which never f***ing worked.” Ben added: “I think that attitude really helped us in ways we couldn’t anticipate. Matt and I always felt like we’re in it together. Like, “Hey, I want to get the part, but I want you to get the part [too].”
