<prompt> Human: Hi,So my boyfriend is moving into my place in a few months and I had a few questions on splitting finances. I bought my condo a year ago for 135K. The mortgage including taxes is 756.00mo and the HOA is 142mo. I have put a fair amount of work into the condo. Ive installed a new furnace i.e. a bit over 2,000, took out a wall of mirrors, and I re-did the bathroom with his help although I covered all the cost. I was thinking of just having my boyfriend pay half of the mortgage, HOA, and utilities. My question is, what happens in the event of repairs, such as if I need a new hot water heater? Should I cover the entire cost or should he pay half? Should he pay a bit more per month but then not have to worry about repairs, as with rent? My boyfriends commute is increasing from 5 minutes to 45 minutes, which is a big deal for him. That should factor into this equation somehow. I am happy to be able to spend more time with him and would be happy covering all costs, Id just love some advice on what others have done in this situation. Thanks in advance for any advice. I tried to search the wiki but didnt find anything on this topic. Sorry if this has already been addressed. Assistant: Maybe Im in the minority, but I own the house and dont charge her a cent to stay with me. Also comes down to income. My income is anywhere from 5-10x hers depending on the year.Human: For what its worth, he makes about 3x my salary.  <response>: Did you ask him what he thinks is a fair amount to pay? It will be a lot easier to come op with a good plan, if both of you know what the other one expects.
