So it's been eight months, a year, three and a half, whatever, since you and a certain someone first met over a failed synthesis in chem lab, reached for the same slice of banana cream pie at the dining hall, traded witticisms at your favorite bar, and the fireworks began. You're madly in love, and pretty much spend every night together at one or the other of your pads. You start realizing that you're throwing away a lot of money each month, paying for two separate places. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to shack up. But before you say goodbye to your current roomies and begin perusing the rent ads for that perfect love nest, there are a few things you really should consider… ready or
not…? For one thing, sharing house means sharing bills -- and that means becoming financially tied together for the first time. Your sweetie's lavish spending might have seemed romantic back in the days when you were just enjoying all the swanky restaurants and pricey gifts, but when you realize that it sometimes means there's not enough money for little things like, oh, rent, you suddenly find yourself turning into the annoying nag who's always chiding about money.
