<prompt> Human: My SO and I are moving out, and he gets paid much more than me. He wants an expensive apartment, and I would like us to split rent equally. However doing so would mean that 60 of my salary would go to paying my part of the rent. We are both young and just graduated university. Together we will have a combined income of over 100k. I have savings and he does not, but I do not want to spend this to supplement my living costs. I know the financial choices I make now will impact my future and I want to make sure I am living within my means, and not check to check. Can anyone give me any advice? Am I just being too frugal? Does living really cost this much?Edit: My SO wouldnt mind paying more than me. I just feel uncomfortable contributing less and want it to be as equal as possible.  <response>: This would depend on where you live. But yes, 60 of your income is far too much. You should not take your savings to pay your housing either.Get a less expensive apartment or pay less of the rent, but do not pay so much.
