Girlfriend wants to move in after 6 months - too soon?

We're getting along great but I feel a bit rushed. Money-wise it would help. How long did you wait before moving in with a partner, and would you do it differently?

Tried explaining moving in after six months to my dad and couldn't get it across.

How do you think you'll feel about moving in together a year from now?

Moving in together isn't as simple as it sounds, even if you get along great.
