It is not wajib to perform a sacrifice yearly, unless you have done an oath for that. Otherwise, the only wajib time is when doing your Hajj pilgrimage. Of course, it is a highly recommended act, especially on Eid al-Adhha, but not wajib, even if you are financially stable.

In the name of Allah

Considering the obligatory Qurbani (sacrificing sheep, goat, etc.) for a Haji (Pilgram to Makkah) in the Hajj al-Tamattu on the Day of Eid al-Adha, every Haji should offer One Qurbani and not less. so sharing it with another Haji won't work.

However, for a Mustahab (recommended) Qurbani, any number of people can contribute and share the Thawab of one Qurbani.

WasSalaam.
