How can credit scores impact your dating life, marriage or divorce? Part 1 of 4:
Call me old fashioned, after all, various companies have been judging you for years based on your credit score, so why can’t I apply this age old “weeding out” process in relationships?
Roll with me for a second, hear me out.
1. Dating? What’s your significant other’s credit score?
I’ve actually asked this question (I’m not shy) and I’ve asked to see a credit report.
(yes he laughed, but I’m not making the same mistake twice).
You don’t want to find out once it’s too late that your “other” is still paying off their college loans 20 years later. You don’t want to find out that your “other” carries tens of thousands in credit card debt without any care like it’s their everyday purse. Sure they treat you to nice dinners and vacations but is everything that’s going on that AmEx, “because of the points”, being paid off or is it accumulating?
One of the number one things people fight about when in a relationship is money. Know what you’re getting into before love makes you blind.
Oh yeah, and that guy who laughed when I said I’d want to see the credit report for my next serious relationship asked me how I felt about pre-nups…on Valentine’s Day…during our romantic dinner. Seriously? Seriously.
