In a recent survey by Match.com, 84% of the respondents said that a person’s credit score is now an important element in determining whether they should begin a relationship. Remember the days when someone would say, “He/she’s not much to look at, but has a great personality!” I guess love is a little more complicated today.
I never thought as I pound the pavement extolling the virtues of financial education, I would include relationships as a reason for understanding credit scoring. I guess as long as it gets young people taking the time to understand the impact of a good credit score; I have to say – whatever.
Yet, as an old-fashioned romantic, if the day comes when prospective couples begin disclosing debt-to-income ratios before accepting a dinner reservation – I’m going to have a problem. I may be a little over the top most days regarding financial education, but I don’t think Cupid should carry a calculator….
