An anonymous user shared online how she is earning $2k per month while her boyfriend earns $18k per month, which is 9 times her salary.
She claims that her boyfriend should spend 9 times more on her than what she spends on him.
She said:
he should be spending 9 times on me of what I spend on him.
Like if I buy him a 5 dollar meal, he has to buy a 45 dollar one next time to match my contribution.
To which her boyfriend disagrees with her view and said that certain costs don’t scale that way.
She thinks he’s being cheap, and that monetary contribution should be based on percentage to “be fair”.
You can read her full spectacular post below:
Is my bf stingy or is he right?I make 2k/month while my bf makes 18k/month.
The other day I told him he should be spending 9 times on me of what I spend on him.
Like if I buy him a 5 dollar meal, he has to buy a 45 dollar one next time to match my contribution.
He strongly disagrees with this view as he said there are certain costs which don’t scale that way.
I think he is just being cheap. Shouldn’t money contribution be based on percentage to be fair? I think it’s only logical what.
Like if I spent 200 dollars on him that’s 10% of my salary. Even if he spends 900 dollars on me that’s more but it’s just 5% of his salary so to him it’s less what right?
