How do you and your significant other split expenses such as rent and eating at restaurants? We are in our late 20s, not married, she works in tech and makes ~$150k while I am an Associate making ~$400k. We split our $4500 rent based on income so I pay 70% rent and I pay for all meals at restaurants (we eat out ~4 meals per week lunch or dinner). Interested in hearing how you all split these expenses and how your income splits between your partner

My bf and I make basically the same respective incomes, but we split 50/50 (and have only been official for 7 months). May I ask how long you guys have been dating at time of starting the income-proportionate split?

$400k? What’s your background bro? Nice income under 30!

Associate 2 or 3? You in nyc?

Similar split as you when I was dating

Similar situation and salary differential here. When I was dating my now wife, we split rent similarly but traded off on dinners / lunches / drinks out. Similarly traded off on groceries.

I can’t get over the $4500 rent. I live in Chicago and have never paid more than $900

Similar situation. Husband and I split housing equally but he’s paid for everything else like utilities, vacations, meals out.

How do you find time to eat out 4 nights a week? Unless you mean picking up food.
