Don't move in together to save money. Move in together because you both want to. Saving money is a cherry on top

I had my own apartment I only went to to pick things up for a year before I officially "moved in" with my bf. Whatever works for you.

D1 is 100% correct, consider downsizing and downgrading your place of it is truly just a spot to keep all your other stuff. You can't move in with him only on the money saving logic because emotions and relationships aren't logical.

Do you have roommates? You could downgrade your apt to save on rent, or airbnb it. I have friends who airbnb their place in NYC and make a killing. But agree with the advice that you don't want to move in with bf purely to save money

I was in your position, but keeping it lined up was helpful when we decided to end things between us.

I am thinking about downgrading my apartment when my lease is up (definitely not considering moving in with my SO until another year or so). Just feels pointless to pay so much for a place I don't stay at.

Thanks for the bad advice K2. Different strokes for different folks

WTF D1. Are you OP? Fuck off you jackass.

I love my kid so much. He was with me throughout all of elementary but has been at the middle school for the past 3 years. He had only a handful of kids he knew from our elementary. He made all of his new friends on his own. I have been meeting them one by one and am sooooo impressed with their character, manners, interests, and grades. He chose his friends wisely! Anyone else experience this?
