5% down on the house. Moving will be done via family as it won’t be a far distance, we have all the home essentials already. Car will be purchased after we close (unless my current one dies) so our DTI will be lower. Our credit scores are both 780+.

Yes all expenses (except car) is split 50/50 so they could be effectively doubled if you add in his salary.

Not changing my last name. I think it’s too old fashioned and goes against what I believe in

Marriage is old fashioned but still doing that, lol. I know this isn't relationship advice sub, but make sure he's ok with that and he doesn't take it the wrong way, like you not liking his name or something. I have a family member that did this. I never understood it, but each couple is certainly allowed to do what they want.

Fiancé wanted to take my last name lol. We are 100% on the same page with me keeping my maiden name. It helps me stay connected to my heritage and I have a doctoral degree and that’s the last name I got the doctorate with so it’s sentimental in that name. The cherry on top is for my job changing my name is a pain in the ass.
