Have you discussed how the household finances will be handled? Will you be keeping your finances separate? I know many people do that though I honestly could never live that way. We put all the money into the same pot and pay all bills and savings from there. We don't have "my" money and "her" money. It is all "our" money. So when we got married and I had $102,000 in student loans, it became a joint debt as everything we do and have is joint.
