My long-term partner and I are looking into buying property together. We’re not married and have no plans to do so... Any advice on how to set up the transaction/contracts to protect each of our interests in the property? Is it too simplistic to build equity based on how much we each contribute to mortgage payments? We both currently make good money but recognize that could change. Curious if anyone else has been in a similar situation and has helpful thoughts to share.

My partner and I did this in June. We wrote (with the help of a lawyer friend) a formal co-ownership contact & signed it (& had it notarized) so that our financial responsibilities are unambiguous & so that it's spelled out what happens to the house if we no longer want to live together.

The other thing to look out for us how you hold the title: tenants in common vs. joint tenants with right of survivorship. We chose the latter because it was important to us that if one of us died the other could stay in the house.

We also gave each other a springing durable power of attorney so that if one of us is incapacitated, the other has legal control over their half of the house.

Happy to talk more about this if you like - it was a bit of a journey for us to figure out!

I’m trying to do the same - I am trying to go with 50/50 on everything, each of us will earn the same equity.

If breakup happens it’s a lot less messy, we can either sell or the other person can buy the equity over.

Did you (or will you) do anything to formalize the agreement that you would each contribute 50% and own 50%?

It sounds great in theory but what happens when a partner falls behind. We had agreed on a 30/70% split. My partner quit his job and then 100% of payments fell on me and there is no recourse and equity stakes quickly became unclear. Suggest one owns and the other "rents" from the one that owns.

Im 22 with a net worth of $61,000. Only 17% of that is in cash, and 83% is being invested. 53% of the net worth is in cryptocurrency. I have very little expenses and was wondering if I should just keep up with the aggressive investing or hold more in cash. The “cash” is being held on BlockFi earning an 8.6% return FYI.

Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.
