So my girlfriend and I are discussing her moving in with me and I'm trying to figure out what a fair split of the bills would be. We're talking a house payment and the utilities. I've contended that we should split the bills according to what % of the household income each of us contributes. So if I make 80% of the household income, I pay 80% of the bills.
Is that fair or should I factor in that even 20% could be a bit much considering what I can comfortably afford on my income and what she can afford on her more beginner level income?
And what % should I knock off if I can PIIHB?
Naturally, she brought up that I should just let her live here for free since she is over most of the time anyway. If you know what my avatar is, you can imagine why that become an almost instantaneous argument. :fm:
