Transcript

Moving in with your partner. Run this financial checklist from your mama. Before date night turns into Judge Judy. Step one. Money. Income debt and monthly no financial monsters hiding under the bed. Step two. Choose how to split rent 50 or percentage. But agree before signing. Step three. Build a budget rent, utilities, groceries, subscriptions and emergencies. Step four. Accounts. Then open one shared. Only deposit what the bills need. Step five. Names on and decide who owns the furniture. Finally keep your own emergency exit fund. Love is beautiful but landlords and moving trucks only accept money.
