Roommates & bills
i have a little squabble with one of my other roommates over how much I should have to pay for bills this past month. First of all you should know I was at my parents house for half of the month during the holiday season. My roommate Jenny thinks I should pay the same amount as the rest of the roommates who were all there for the whole month. Also Jenny ran up the electric bill all month with christmas lights (her idea) and an electric space heater she only uses in her room. The electric bill for this month was 3x what it normally is.
I feel that I should only have to pay half what everyone else pays because I wasnt even there. I am willing to pay my full share of the Comcast bill because the price doesnt fluctuate with usage unlike electricity and gas. My thinking is that since I wasnt there for half of the month, the electric and gas bills should be lower because its one less person using lights, hot water, cooking, etc.
What do you guys think?
