How to split the grocery bill?

My boyfriend and I are moving into my condo soon to study. The only things we'll have to pay are the utilities and food.

I would be in favor of splitting the bill based on income. Those who earn more should also pay more.

My friend thinks it would be easier to just divide the calculation by 2.

Which is better?

Hi! If it’s about the complete budget management, I’d rather be with you.

If it’s your condominium and your friend would live with you for free, then he could take over the lion’s share of the operating costs, after all he saves the rent for his own apartment. At least I think he should get on with it voluntarily.

It was always important to me that, after deduction of all costs, both my wife and I have the same money available for personal expenses, resulting in a division of 2/3 to 1/3 … and with that we have been well-run for 40 years.

the simplest would be a common account to which everyone pays an amount x depending on the income. All common costs are contested by this.

Both proposals lead to dispute. I wouldn’t even give up, but I’d make a joint cashier in which everyone brings the same share. From this, you then pay the food costs, without controlling any evidence.
