<prompt> Human: I make about 30k more a year than my girlfriend. Weve been dating for a while now, and were talking about moving in together. She insists on me paying a greater portion of the rent. According to her, our payments should be based off of the s we make.I think this is kind of absurd, and we should split the rent 5050.What are your thoughts on the fairness of this method?  <response>: Well, either way, you two sound like you may be facing troubles down the road. if you go 5050 she will never have any money to spend. She will not be able to pay her own way in other ways nor will she be comfortable spending money on or with you. If paying more will make you uncomfortable I would suggest waiting until you are further along in your relationship or she gets a raise.
