<prompt> Human: Not sure if this is the right place to post this question so please direct me if there is a better place. My bf and I have been together just a little bit over 2 years. Our relationship is strong and were ready to move in together. Hes wanted to buy a house for awhile and has been saving up for years. He really prefers to buy as he sees rent as throwing your money away.If we were to do this he would put the majority of the down payment down and would just like me to contribute 5k or so, as well as close to splitting the monthly mortage.My question is, as we are not engaged or married yet, what are your thoughts on this? Im pretty sure well stay together but its better safe than sorry. If things turn sour a year from now I wouldnt want to move out after putting 10k towards his house.  <response>: Be a renter. Do not own the house together. Do not put money down.No spouse, no house. Without the legal arrange upfront marriage it should be handled as a renterlandlord situation.
