Women are providers and nurturers as well. Women pay bills.
And what are women to be?
Your girl just moved in with you...

He will be paying ALL of the rent
& I would do the cooking, cleaning ect.
I would contribute to groceries and other smaller bills.
If she asked to move in, then I think she should pay half. If he asked her to move in, then I think he should continue to pay the rent, but they should both pay for food and all of the other stuff.
So. let's use easy numbers. Let's say rent is $1000. I pay that. Smaller bills: Lights (need), Food (need), water (need): let's say that costs $500. IF we both take home $2k(about $35k gross a year), then I'm spending half my money on rent and she's spending 25% on the other bills. What if I have other bills? (Cell, student loans/credit cards, car notes, cable, which A LOT OF people have)
And let's not act like EVERYONE has a FT job making 40k or more. There are a LOT Of people that make $15-25k tryna hold down a whole household when they shouldnt and that's not a lot of money.
if I'm paying all the rent that's my apartment now
MY HOUSE
The average person lives paycheck to paycheck. So if we moving in together, WE are paying those bills TOGETHER.
Most people have some combo of: Rent, Lights, Food, Cell, Car Note/Insurance, Credit Card, Cable/Internet, Student Loans. If I'm paying all the affiliated house hold bills, will she pay my cell? My car? my CCs? Pay Sallie Mae for me?
Who's going to save money/invest?

I'd just stay at home living with my father who makes way more than that and where I wouldn't have to pay for anything.
Remember she said he's moving in, she didn't say they were buying a place together. He should've been able to pay all of his bills alone anyway. The stuff is in his name only as well.

I mean, there aren't that many people that make 50K+...that's rare. unfortunately...and rent is at minimum $700 in a decent apt/area.
$8500 a year in rent....if you only making $25k gross you struggling
I know 6 ppl that gross more than 50K.
2 are retail asst mgrs. ($50k+, New Orleans)
1 is an accountant ($62k, Texas)
1 is a respiratory therapist ($70k, New Orleans)
1 RN ($70k, New Orleans)
1 Executive level @Citi Bank ($150k, NYC)
The 2 mgrs are guys, the other 4 are women...they pay bills...the respiratory tech pays the Majority in her marriage

That sounds so miserable
Last quip, I think a lot of people don't realize that well paying jobs take a lot of free time that one may have available to invest into a relationship (eg, 50-70 hour work weeks).
Back on topic, if she moves in with me, she has to help pay. If I move in with her, then I have to help pay. Me and my girl take turns paying for stuff (we don't live together yet).
New Orleans Market rent: $1200. By conventional standards using rounding that means you need to gross $3600 a month, which is $43k, or $21/hour. Not many jobs pay that, you have to be in some sort of career.
