It’s so funny you mentioned the book “How to marry the man of your choice.” Some years ago I gave that book to a friend of mine for her birthday. She actually read it and said it was very useful. It helped her to find a husband and she has been happily married for two years now.
That said, I have read the most important thing about a good relationship is having similar FICO scores. The bigger the disparity in those scores, the more the marriage is doomed.
I feel this is 100% correct. I worked with a guy who dated a girl and was getting serious with her UNTIL he learned she had maxed out her credit card. he said goodbye to her and she was furious.
When I met my wife, she was working two jobs to pay off bills left to her from a bad marriage. She was frugal and a hard worker. She impressed me. We've been together 40 years.
What is a FICO score?
