Here are some no-nonsense tips to guide you both for the next big step in your life.
Make sure that it is the best time for both of you.
Before you move in together, make sure that the two of you feel the same way about it. It would be best if you were on the same boat to ensure everything goes in its proper place and no one feels rushed into it.
Decide where you want to live.
While it may be more convenient to move into your partner’s home, it may be best to find a new place where both of you can feel at home. If you choose to move into your partner’s home, will the other be fine if you bring your own furniture and other belongings? The other party should be willing to meet halfway to let the other make changes and ensure no one gets upset.
Consider the items you will bring into your new home.
If you decide to move in with your significant other, chances are you will have plenty of unnecessary things for your new home. Take time in going through your belongings and decide which ones you can sell, give away, or dispose of. To help you decide, you can check which furniture or items are in better condition or which one will suit your new home better.
Don’t hesitate to consider storage facilities.
If you really can’t make up your mind about which items to get rid of or keep, you may want to look into using a storage locker in the time being. This may help the future if you want to relocate into a larger home with your loved one. You can keep the extra bed for your guests when you are finally ready to purchase your first home.
Discuss your finances.
This is a significant matter to talk about before you move in together. Do you plan to combine your earnings or save them in individual accounts? If you decide to have a joint checking account, you may still want to divide the bills between you two. One will handle water and electricity, and the other takes care of rent and other bills. Both parties should be agreeable with the setup of your finances before you move in together.
Before you decide to live together, take the time to sit down and talk about everything with your partner. Do not be in a rush to make a decision as it can impact your life in the future.
