<prompt> Human: Im graduating from college soon and a group of three of my friends and myself are looking for a house to rent for a year. Some of us are going directly into salaried jobs and others are going to be doing other jobs that might be less well paying. I was wondering what your general attitudes and opinions are about whether its better to pay rent with each person contributing 14 of the rent each or by paying as a percentage of each persons income. I might be getting a salaried position and thus paying a percentage means that I would have to pay a higher dollar amount of rent compared to my friends, which makes me feel a bit cheated or taken advantage of. However, I also feel like paying as a percentage is more equitable. Any and all perspective is appreciated!  <response>: One way to handle income disparities is for the more financial-able to offer to pay more for a better room. If theres such a huge disparity in ability to pay Id worry about the group dynamic.
