<prompt> Human: My gf of 6 years is in school and claims she cant afford to pay me more than 20 of the rent. The rent costs about 30 of my net income without her assistance.Normally I wouldnt do something like this, however my line of work gives me a discount on rent if I live at their apartments. If she only pays me 20 of the rent, I would still be paying about the same as renting a house with other people. So a nice 1br costs about the same as living in a 4br house in the private market.My main issue is that I feel like she could be making more money but decides not to. From a purely financial standpoint, does this make more sense to go with the 1br at work?Gross 33kRent 550 with discount. Normally 850.Monthly NI 2200Monthly expenses and bills 1000 not including rent  <response>: My gf of 6 years is in school and claims she cant afford to pay me more than 20 of the rent.My main issue is that I feel like she could be making more money but decides not to.This sounds like more of a rrelationships question than a rpersonalfinance question. If it costs about the same either way, then you probably answered your own question from a strictly financial perspective. But I sense an undercurrent of mistrust and other relationship issues in your post, and thats really what you need to figure out.
