'He should pay it all': Renters debate how couple making $180K and $40K respectively should split their rent

As a brand new New Yorker, I often think about the circumstances under which I would be able to live "on my own." Even if I suddenly came into a large amount of money, I probably wouldn't be financially savvy to live alone unless I won the lottery. The best idea I've come up with on how to not live without roommates is to get into a long-term relationship and move into a one or two-bedroom with that person. That way, you're not living with a stranger you met on Facebook! The problem with living with your partner is that if you break up, one of you will have to move out, and if you can't afford the one bedroom on your own, it will create all sorts of problems. One couple recently went viral for figuring out how to split the cost of their $3000 monthly rent, sparking debate on who should pay what.
