WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Talk About Your Debt While Navigating the Dating Scene · 6 Feb 2025
podcast
One of the experts I spoke to said, when you find out someone has debt, what you really need to do is try and remain as neutral as possible about it and then investigate, figure out why they have it, figure out if they have a
plan, and that's going to tell you so, so much more about their money habits and their financial health than just looking at someone and saying, oh, you have thousands of dollars in debt.
You must be financially irresponsible.
Someone who has a lot of student loans but has a plan to pay them off and is working to pay them off has very different money management skills than someone who has debt from something like gambling, and it's just continuing to increase, and they don't really have a plan to pay it off.
Why is it so important to have these conversations?
They definitely can be really awkward and uncomfortable for a lot of people.
One of the experts I spoke with told me that a lot of couples who she sees as clients struggle to talk about this.
So if you're listening and you're struggling to talk about this, you are not alone.
But money matters because it's such a huge part of life.
And if you're trying to build a life with someone, their relationship with money is going to affect you and your relationship and the life that you build together.
And if you're able to have a really clear picture of where they're at and where you're at, you're able to build a much stronger life together and a much stronger foundation.
