When should I decide how I want to share expenses with a roommate?

Clear-cut Financials

Having a roommate is a great way to cut the costs of living. However, it should be clear, before you move in with someone, what your costs will be. Decide what's best for you before you start searching. Do you want to split the cost of groceries or fend for yourselves? Do you have extra household expenses, such as a cleaning service or satellite TV? Making these things clear to potential housemates will make your search more efficient and avoid future conflicts.
