I don't date people with credit scores below 750. Chances are if they got at least that high they have realistic spending practices already assimilated. I also would never merge bank accounts. You don't need my money if you have a job. If you didn't have a job and I gave you money every week, you still don't need access to the rest of my assets, so do as you see fit with your money, so long as you can pay your portion of the bills and whatever expenses you rack up, have at it.

I would not marry in the first place... I don't go into relationships first to later find out these things about them... lol

Hell yes my ex was like this he'd buy stupid stuff and spend all his money on junk food and war hammer it was a massive red flag for me but he had plenty of them not just to do with money.

Stability is very attractive to me I want a man I know will look after me and is good with his money and works hard. Its also a big sign of having no self control that can lead to other bad things

My brother is having trouble with his wife. She is spending all of his retirement money that he worked very hard for. He opened his card statement and it was $6200!! He had no idea she was spending so much money. I think she would buy thing and hide them from him. 🤷🏼‍♀️

How would we get to the point of being married without knowing this about her?

Unit1 · Answer

To control spending is today an euphemism of being too broke to afford a normal living. Lots of people think about skipping lunch to make it through the month (as it was the case with me).

kingmaker21 · Answer

No I don't mind if she spend my money if she is happy her happiness matters more then anything ma'am.

RingOfFire · Answer

I have a lot of money. One of the key things I look for when I date someone is that she is not a gold digger or materialistic. If I married someone I would keep our money separate and probably give her a generous allowance for her to spend on whatever makes her happy in addition to paying our living expenses. She can spend that as a gift from me but if she wants more she will have to discuss it with me first.

it gets to a point spending a lot more money the person makes in a month, I would get a divorce. my friend had a big spending problem. one day he went to walmart he bought every console gaming they had available. one xbox 360, one ps3 etc. he had build up $5000 on credit card, he was only playing $10 each month. his parents had to help him out to pay all the money.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I would not marry someone bad with money. My mother is horrible with money and it made my life hard. So I would never be with someone who doesn't know how to spend within their means.

kareenakapur · Answer

i think it depends on how much and what they are spending it on.

strateguy632 · Answer

that would be stupid she would get money in the divorce anyway... but instead i would start buying luxuries so then she would feel the minus.

if that did not work i would cut my job hours cause her pay for everything.

molonski2 · Answer

Too many choices there.  People like this dont change ( or can't change ) , its a vital part of life , financial , and of course , its going to destroy the marriage , just as gambling would.

electromagnetic · Answer

His money. As long as he knows where to support me in terms of share responsibilities, I don’t mind where he places his money. I would if our mortgage is due and he blew a portion.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I feel like that we'd find out about this... habit before we married here unless she's just really good at hiding the fact that she loves to spend money.

jshm2 · Answer

Depends. If it's just hoarding crap, then she probably has a mental illness and the spending is a part of it.

Miristheiss · Answer

That is a very serious problem. First I would not have joint finances. Our accounts would be separate and she wouldn't have access to mine.

Zestyassmf1997 · Answer

You forgot, “no” as an option. Anyway, I don’t believe in sharing money in relationships. Their budgeting is their responsibility.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I broke up with my ex over her spending. Lol that girl was shocked.

MiddleAgedClimbee · Answer

if it began to put us in financial hell, I would probably start thinking about it.

steveusna · Answer

Marriage is too dangerous for men in the west. All risk, no benefit.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

That's none of my business. Her money is her money. As long as she pays her bills that's all that matters.

Mark987 · Answer

I wouldn't marry someone without knowing how they truly are. Meaning how they spend money, treat others, etc.

Anonymous · Answer

I probably wouldn't marry her to begin with. It's important to be on the same page on issues like spending, earning and saving before tying the knot.

nawtee_me · Answer

She can spend her own money on herself and by herself. Leave me out of it.
