[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like a proportional split, thought you're both pretty close in income. That works out to 43%/57%.

This sort of proportional split allows each partner to have their own spending money and not feel resentment over paying too much, etc. [/quote]

+1 I'm actually surprised by all these 50/50 posts. If it's a serious long-term relationship I think this is more "fair." [/quote]

I think most people are saying 50/50 rent split and you live someplace affordable to the lower earner and the person earning more takes on a few additional bills or the extras. The person making less is not spending any more than they would without the SO and the person earning  more is doing something they could do without the SO, living below their means and saving more.[/quote]

I understand but then again I'm also not a fan of splitting dating expenses 50/50. I think it creates a mindset that isn't conducive of "we." It's like always hanging out with that friend that makes a lot more money than you and the issues that can cause.[/quote]
