Moving in together: the money side
Rent, bills and what happens if it doesn't work out.
Moving in together combines costs quickly. Talking through the money side first avoids awkward moments later.
Talk about
- Whose name is on the lease, and what that means if one person leaves
- How rent and bills will be split
- Who buys and owns furniture and big items
- Pets, guests and household supplies
- How you'll handle it if one of you loses income
