Roommates are not married. Spending too much time together can really harm your relationship. And if all of your friends are common to both of you, I'd start working on that, if for no other reason than you probably need to spread your wings a little.
You do have to work out the money issues. Possibly one of you is not great with budgets and the other one is a little persnickety? But the bills do have to be paid on time, and due dates are not suggestions. This is actually a discussion I had to have with my now husband. He seriously thought the date on your credit card bill was like your mortgage payment, where it's due on X date, but you don't get penalized until Y date. And if you're a college age kid, or so, one of the two of you could seriously not get it about what getting into debt can do to the next several years of your life.
And by the way, if you can't afford to pay the electric bill, you can't afford to go out for Friday night drinks. And I promise you, you'll live without HBO. And you really will survive with the air conditioner set at 75.
