Yes, again, this is my just my opinion on it. If you own the property, by charging rent you are taking in income or profit as the credit line and equity in the house are both in his name, not hers. The house is his, not both of theirs so her ‘rent’ is his income or simply put her paying to build his persona
equity in the house. So in my opinion, to profit or financially gain from your girffriend is a good reason for her to complain.
Inviting someone to live in your home is one thing, having them live in your home and pay rent makes you their landlord. If he is renting, it is a different story, but he owns the home, so matter how you label it, he is taking in income off his girlfriend, which in my opinion is reason to justify her concerns.

I realize that there is the matter of perception, but since dollars are fungible there is no difference between the GF paying $800/mo in rent, or paying $800/mo in utilities, groceries, etc.

fair enough, I disagree though. There’s nowhere in the world apart from maybe her parent’s house where she could expect to live rent free. Rent (either to a landlord or as mortgage payments) is just one of those unavoidable things so anywhere you live you should expect to pay it. Hell, I grumble about having to pay it, but I know that I have to pay it. Ain’t no free rides round here.

Not just a matter of perception, if the OP were to be audited he would have to declare the money as taxable income. But now we are talking semantics and I see your point.
My gf has a house in the same town, but we live in mine full time because I invited her to come, would just be strange for me to then charge her if you get my drift?

Use your brain here, a lambo new costs close to 300-400k, if you make 1M, assuming its not all from Capital gains you are talking 500-600 after tax. What kind of person spends that much of their take home on a car that you can hardly drive? The kind of “rich person” that sleeps in someone’s guest room in stead of a hotel and dates a woman half his age while being her ‘sugar daddy’.

This.
And could someone PLEASE FFS let the OP know there will be no more advice until he fucking post pics! Shiite this place has gone down hill.

He is 40
his girlfriend is 21
He told her his income. She bragged abot finding a rich dude.
I see the old dude getting a 3 way soon and having himself a new pet to play with…OPs gf.[/quote]
I don’t know why this got ignored, because, I kinda saw it this way too.
Plus, the whole setup sounds like a con. I’m just waiting for the “rich dude” to say “hey, I can get you a job at my company” or something along those lines.

he’s 40 btw and she is 21[/quote]
sounds like they have a very healthy relationship. not shallow at all[/quote]
I really want to agree with you, but I’ve actually seen healthy relationships like this.[/quote]
If only one party is contributing to the ‘practical’ upkeep of the unit; that is unhealthy.
[/quote]
I think I agreed with that with an earlier post, addressing the whole “what is healthy/unhealthy”.
If the guy just wants arm candy, and the girl just wants money, and they’re both ok with that exchange… AND they’re both happy with their lives outside of the relationship… I think that’s plenty healthy. Not satisfying, but healthy.
But if you don’t agree, I’d actually like to have that discussion.

Average new car price = $30,303
Median personal income = $28,567
I’d say Lambo dude is the epitomy of fiscal prudence. How many of us can say that our vehicles cost less than half of our after-tax take home pay?
Also, fwiw, you can pick up a 3 year old used Gallardo for around $125k.

I can. And it’s still worth more than I bought it for.
And if you’re going to buy a Lambo, why the hell would you buy a Gallardo? That’s like buying a Boxter.
I actually don’t dislike the Gallardo. I just dislike the fact that they didn’t make it look different enough from the Murcielago. They’re very different cars; they shouldn’t look almost the same to the untrained eye.
Too bad the insurance was so expensive ($750/mo) for the Gransport in the picture. They were selling that used with 18k miles for “only” $42k.
OP…what exactly does your girlfriend’s friend’s boyfried do to make 1 million bucks a year?
I don’t know anyone that makes that much money that would crash at your love shack for two nights. What I’m trying to say is I’m betting your girlfriend’s friend’s boyfried is full of shit.

Granted, they made the styling differences more apparent in later years, but I’d be a little pissed if I owned a Murcielago and people just thought it was a Gallardo.
