<prompt> Human: I make more than my SO. Im thinking about paying more in rent than he does, maybe a percentage of my income that matches his.Were aiming to move into an apartment in November, so were in money saving mode right now. We work live in the South Bay area of Los Angeles so rent prices are preeetty steep.Ive spent the last year in a nightmare craigslist roommate apartment situation that I have patiently waited out so as to avoid breaking my lease... Ive felt like a guest in my own home for so long. So now I am getting ready to move into a place that feels like a home, with my longtime SO. He seems to cringe at the idea of not contributing the same amount as me, but I would rather pay a bit extra and move into a nicer place. I dont mind forking out some extra dough. Has anyone successfully split rents differently? How did you do it? As a percentage of your income? Or as a mutually agreed amount? Did your roomieSO make up for the difference in other ways? All advice welcome! Thanks!  <response>: My girlfriend and I do this. I make 20 more than she does, so i pay 20 more in rent. For everything else internet, electric, etc we split 5050. We use an app on our phones called Splitwise to input charges and figure out how much we owe each other.
