(9,527 posts)Getting involved with somebody who spends more than every cent they have isn't something I'm interested in.
And while yes, you can say that all these potential issues can come up, but I was taught to always save money and to work to get your debt paid off as quickly as you can so it doesn't drag you down. Everybody makes mistakes, but having a low credit score can indicate that it wasn't a mistake but a series of poor choices.
I regard being in agreement on financial matters the same as having the same general political outlook, a similar interest in learning, love of animals etc. It just creates issues if you are too different on major issues. I've spent a lot of my life paying for the mistakes of others, I don't want to do that in a relationship too.
