<prompt> Human: Since Ive lived with other people we have always split utilities evenly, and assumed everyone used about equal amounts. My husband wants us to keep track of how much we use the lights and other electric appliances and each pay for what we use. Is this worth doing, or is there an easy way to do it? Is my husband normal or not?  <response>: Is my husband normal or not?No, hes not normal. How is he going to keep track of that? Is he going to buy an electricity usage monitor and plug that in every time he uses something? Its not practical at all. The only thing I can see being reasonable is if one of the roommates has an appliance that uses a lot of electricity, like a portable air conditioner, then theyd pay more.
