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.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent.
