106-9 Kicks Country #1 For New Country
The people at Yahoo Finance recently talked to men and women in their 20s and 30s, and asked them about money habits that can ruin a new relationship. Here are the top five things that came up . . .
1. Not paying on the first date. More than three-quarters of women agreed that men should pay on a first date. Which is good, because nearly all of the men said they would cover the bill on a first date.
2. Asking about finances too early. Asking about stuff like their salary or credit card debt should be off-limits until the three-month mark.
3. Too much debt. Most women said credit card debt was a major turn-off, although some student debt is okay. And men also agreed that too much credit debt is a red flag, although they didn’t specify exactly how much is too much.
4. A low credit score. Nearly half of Americans said bad credit is a red flag.
5. The woman earning more. This one turned out NOT to be a dealbreaker at all. The stereotype is that men can feel threatened by a woman who earns more. But only one of the men surveyed admitted he preferred earning more. The rest said it would be a major plus if the woman did.
