[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it’s renting, I think it’s fair to pay rent in proportion to income and try to not live too high above the lower earner’s means. In my case, I have kids and needed a bigger space so I pay 2/3 what my partner pays. I also prefer this over equal so that if we did end up breaking up (and he would never try to push me out even if we did) I would have more claim to stay here. He pays for utilities (which are very low in our case) and shared home expenses. I usually cover most groceries since the kids and I obviously consume more. We both are pretty happy with this arrangement even though it’s not a clear 50/50. If I ever bought a home, we’d have to figure something new out, but I think I’d buy so it would be in my name and he’d contribute through paying for more household expenses, but not rent since I would want to be the sole owner. [/quote] I think having kids when the partner doesn't changes the dynamics a bit.[/quote]
