Are you both splitting each bill 50/50? Are you both working and able to afford a fair share of the living costs? Are you both on the lease/rental agreement?
Discuss household chores and purchases. Who will clean what, when, and how often? Who is buying food, when, and how often? Will furniture purchases be made together? Will there be pets?
What about your schedules? Do you have similar work/school schedules or will one of you want to sleep while the other is up and about? Does one of you like to have people over constantly while the other prefers a quieter environment?
Why do you really want to live together? Are you considering getting engaged/married? Are you just trying to save money? Do you simply spend lots of time together already and it just makes sense? Are other people saying you should move in together? [ BerryWine's advice column | Ask BerryWine A Question ]
