Episode 2520: Bringing debt into a relationship is a tricky subject, with strong opinions on both ends of the spectrum. Jen Hayes argues that while love shouldn't be solely about money, expecting a partner to take on significant debt is a major ask, especially if there's no clear plan for repayment. She also emphasizes the importance of financial transparency, acknowledging that while discussing debt too soon may scare people off, waiting too long can erode trust.
