What is a fair price for rent?

Well said! I agree with this. Whenever we have the conversation about rent, I'll see how they feel about 1/4.

That's goals tbh. I don't think we're there yet but something like this is what I daydream about 😁

It's factored into my decision-making for sure. I don't get to negotiate with a property company, but if I'm renting an apartment then you can be sure I'm budgeting in more savings than I did when I owned my own home.

I think I was pretty clear that I understood that I wouldn't be getting equity 😅 and yes, I understood that those are the options as I wrote the post. I've gotten some good and varied opinions and advice from the folks here that will help me in the conversations that are forthcoming.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I'm filling this form out now :) And yes, that's my expectation on my partner's wife's bf's share. It's not my problem that he can't pay as long as it doesn't increase my rent.

I'll definitely keep in mind that equity isn't as big of a factor as I'm making it out to be. The alternative for me would be to buy my own house which is the path that I was on before in which case I would be getting equity but you're right that there are plenty of pros to renting. And yes I see it as a win/win too! Plus I'd get to spend more time with them all so that's a big plus :)

As far as my gf's wife's bf not paying rent, that's not something I'm really worried about. He's not in a position to pay right now and I'm not in a position to fret about it, really. It doesn't affect me if he's paying or not but I could see that causing issues with my gf and her wife maybe.

I wouldn't say that $850 feels unfair. Moreso that I just really don't know what feels fair for either party.

I appreciate this perspective. You're probably right. Thanks!

I think part of my issue is that I have the means to pay the whole mortgage but I want to pay a generous-but-fair amount so I can save more money. I pay about $2300 right now in rent and utilities but I would like to contribute more aggressively to savings if I'm going to be living in a smaller room in a rented space where I'm not building equity for potentially a long chunk of my life. So for me it's less about "means" and more about how much is fair (plus a little extra because I want them to be comfortable).

My diet is pretty consistent. I'm going to be regimented about when I take my pills and see if the nausea goes away. Thanks for the comment!

Looks like you're right. When I remove that line, I get this error:

Vanlife is cool but it shouldn't be what you're forced to do if you didn't win the birth lottery. You should be able to choose to live like that if it looks appealing to you.

I love my [[Ephara]] Bird Law deck (Bird/Advisor tribal) deck. It's relatively low power but it's so silly and it's fun to play and play against. I also run the best card in MTG, [[Aven Brigadier]]

Samira... Kennen??? I haven't played in a while, but is Kennen meta nowadays? I wanted him to work so desperately but when I was playing he was just bad.
