Never on a first date. I won't reveal any of my CLs until at least the third. And only if you seem like the kind of guy without too many baddies.

OK, I absolutely MUST hear the pillow talk if this happens!

Plus that whole imagine thing.

Sheesh... now I'm hearing Lennon singing.... Imagine all the people... living life DEBT FREE!!

Ha! --hadn't though of the Lennon "Imagine"! I love your rewrite.

I was thinking more along the lines of, Now imagine I open the door, and there stands Harrison Ford. Or Denzel Washington. Or even Paul Newman, even though he's getting a little long in the tooth... Oh, well, need to go clean out the litter box!

No joke...I was on this Christian forum awhile back and there was this woman who was actually such a stuck-up blueblood that she advised her daughters to check a prospective mate's credit report. I PMed her and asked her, "Gee, as Christians, aren't we supposed to be like Jesus? I don't recall Him asking for the FICO score of the woman at the well before forgiving her. Lighten up."

She never responded...

I think it's a very sensible idea to exchange credit reports if you're getting seriously involved.  I almost neglected to do this and found out my (now) ex-fiance had more than $50,000 in CC debt.  I could  have accepted it if he had a plan for repayment, but he dealt with it by throwing out the unopened bills.  Deal breaker.

You'd be crazy not to. It's not just the financial minefield; something like that reveals profoundly different value systems and behaviors. You'd hate to find out about all that after the honeymoon.

It's odd how people do anything and everything these days before marriage, but talking about money is still the great taboo. Now please excuse me, while I go take my arthritis meds and change my Depends!

yeah I just never used to think about marriage in those terms. Still not married, but if and when I do get married, I feel like there is so much more to consider. Still not convinced it's the life I want. So amazing how growing up changes our perceptions of things.

So the modern prepartnering questionaire involves date of latest AIDs test and Fico score?

Interesting............

Woo hoo Barbarino! Keep up the good work. The less debt I carry around, the more alive I feel.
