I think it depends on where you decide to stay. If you decide to stay in a place that costs $1800 / month, thats obviously out of her budget and you are going to have to pay a little more for the luxury. If you stay in a place that fits her budget, something like 1,000 / mo, then she should definately pay half. What I am saying is if you decide to step it up to something she can't really afford you will be paying, all other things aside who really cares if she makes less, its not like shes living there any less.
