[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend and I are hoping to move in together soon. We plan to marry in the future. I currently own my home and he rents.

He is was in a previous relationship where he was wiped out financially and is very cautious about how to mingle assets moving forward.

I would like him to move into my place, but he says he doesn’t want to because I own it without him. [b]He’d like us to buy a new place together. [/b]However, I have more money than him, so if we get a new place together, I’d have to downgrade to keep it 50/50. Any thoughts on a fair way to navigate this?[/quote]

Tell him that will have to wait.

In the meantime, you could say he could pay the utilities, and you pay the property tax and insurance. That would be a fair and equitable split.

If he wants his name on your property, BIG RED FLAG. I say this as a trad type woman also, not a feminist by any means.

You can both save money (equal amount each month) to buy a place together AFTER you get married. Also, you KEEP your current house and rent it out for extra income.
