My wife talked about it when deciding where to go for our very first date. I asked if she wanted to grab a bite to eat somewhere. She recommended a picnic at the park, cause she was low on money and for food could get some cheap snacks at the grocery store. First sign of true love there.
Honestly not a bad question, no matter what she looks like if she comes with half a mill of student loan debt for early childhood education it is a deal breaker....
@@zachbean1956 if you’re Dave, that’s pocket change. I obviously wouldn’t be happy about it, but if my wife had that, I would pay it off and be with her.
I would think getting grilled on my finances by someone I just started dating would be what they call a "red flag". Now, if you have been dating for a while and things are starting to get serious, then yes, a discussion about future kids and finances would be appropriate.
Getting grilled is different than discussing a general approach about money and finances. The initial conversation shouldn't be an interrogation. Do a flyby and then ya, dig into details later down the road
I think kids can be such a huge deal breaker and "accidents" can happen that kids should be discussed very early, like first or second date, just to check intentions. Other than that, there are different levels or softer ways to approach it early before going into details. For example, I could say, "I'm big into savings because I want to be able to retire well, maybe even early. What about you?" That response can get you some information without "grilling" them. The point is to find out deal breakers BEFORE it gets serious to make it easy to walk away without the resentment that someone wasted your time or trying to change the other person and just being angry when you find you can't.
I agree ! That is not a discussion for a first, second, third, or fourth date. After a while, most will gather enough information to determine whether the relationship is worth pursuing longer than three months.
I think asking "so.... in dating.... what are your non-negotiables?" is a perfectly legitimate question on a first date. I would lead to good discussion. If it doesn't.... you know you're not a match. Talking about deep topics is actually easier with someone you hardly know and probably won't see again.
We agreed on Dave's four things from the very beginning. If you do that, you have the best chance of making it like we did. Most people don't talk about those things, and their marriage doesn't work out.
I would say alignment on political beliefs is more of a "nice to have", because many people simply don't care that much about politics. If you and your spouse have different political beliefs, but neither are strongly invested in those political beliefs, then I think you can have a prosperous marriage. Religion is not quite that simple, though, as Dave explained.
I agree on the politics..i think political philosophy reveals important values... especially after a couple has children or buys property. There should be an open mindset to talk about politics. Because politics interweaves with our everyday lives involving money, freedom, children, Id want a partner who aligns with me in this regard...
How you deal with this depends on how you met. If you met in real life, have this discussion on the third date. By that time you know if you want to see this person regularly, but your emotions arn't so involved that you can't walk away. If you are being set up for a blind date, the person who set you up is tasked with vetting the other person before you two meet. If you meet online, then your bio needs to have your deal breakers listed. Your opening conversation should include asking them if they understand your deal breakers, and if they have any questions about them.
Honestly you can figure it without really asking. Just ask “what do you work in” And if they say “oh I work at target” but then you see them in a newer car, nice clothes, always wanting to go out. Then you have what you need to know.
Yep..observations go along way of what's the picture with this person. If they said they were in a good paying job and they drive a modest car you might found a keeper. How it was when I first dated future wife I knew she at least money wise was on same page as me.
I have a terrible car but am earning allot more than people my age and don’t buy major brand clothes. Why? Because I’m sensible with money and invest allot so I wouldn’t jump to judgement to quick. Especially with cars! Most people with nice cars have big car loans. I have no debt besides my house 🎉
My wife of 45 years and I discussed finances early on with the ground rule that we share everything. One checking account, one savings account and both of us responsible for financial obligations. We discussed major purchases but did not fret over the little purchases. It has been great and as a result we never really argued over money.
We did the same thing. We were on the same page from the beginning. We went together for six years before we got married, so we knew what our finances and debts were. We went together on everything upon marriage - one checking account, one savings account, etc. It worked wonderfully - been married for 40 years.
The value starts immediately as it is part of life. But we were engaged when the nitty gritty was talked about. I was 30, she 23. She was wiser and I agreed to her plan. It worked. 20 years later we've done very well.
I think getting all this stuff out of the way upfront is a mistake. That is the problem with modern dating. All these filters and choices etc. People are just looking for the perfect person. You can be discarded for anything. It is much better to get to the know the person for who they are as a person and their mindset before bringing up anything like this. That way you actually know them and can decide if they are worth helping or if they would be ok with making changes with you for the future. There are tons of people who hear "I have $500k of debt" and are gone right away. However, that person may be super ambitious and are working hard to pay it off. You left and meanwhile they paid it off 5yrs later and are now a big time lawyer etc. People are too quick to judge. They don't wanna deal with the problems. They just wanna get you when you are at the finish line. A real relationship the person you are with will help you cross it rather than wait at the end.
A very thoughtful response.. I agree to some of it. I think learning about someone's habits is more useful to reveal their values.. Can they delay gratification? Do they have dreams and goals. Are they curious? Demonstrate perseverance? Not easily irritated? Demonstrate responsibility? If you understand these questions of the person you are dating and are doing them yourself, it's a good chance there won't be "money problems"..but talking about money is still ok, i think..I personally would not want to be involved with someone $500,000 in debt...lol
A Sunday school teacher I used to assist who taught middle school aged kids, used to tell them to do your homework before you even ask them out on a first date. He used the term know if you can marry them before you date them, and he meant by that you have to have your must haves in mind before you even ask them out and if you don't get to know who you're asking out you're probably going wrong by asking them out. Asking for a number to talk is different but dating should be between two like minded people. I always clinged to that advice
Why would you ask someone about finances immediately? That’s a big turnoff…. Trust and believe that’s a woman’s logic …ain’t no man thinking about a woman’s money anytime during a date .
The best way to go about this is to segway into it naturally in the conversation. For example, you could ask: what type of content do you watch? You could say you watch Dave Ramsey or lots of personal finance videos on RUclips. You just want to find someone who is also about this same culture of personal finance.
I think its ok to ask certain things before you ever meet. For instance, what someone does for a living gives you an idea of their income. I asked a guy why his last relationship ended. He told me because she wouldn't pay half the bills. He says she thought since he made so much more, that he should pay more. I agree with her. He made $123k. He lived in a camper on a rented $450 lot. He told me he has $6k in credit card debt and $9k personal loan. Harley Davidson and the bar was getting his money. He told me he never cooks at home or grills. He told me what bar he is at when he is off work. I stopped talking to him.
If it really matters to you, I think it is OK to talk about marriage and money first thing on the first date. It will save you a lot of time (most men will just leave at the spot). Preferably talk about it before ordering food.
In the first month I usually have the conversation that starts "what are your financial, life, personal, academic goals?" that way you get to know then and their values and know if your paths align.
This is excellent advice. So much wisdom. Huge difference between "recreational" dating -- shared sense of fun, no bad breath, attractiveness vs. "courting" -- relationship with parents, future kids, money, religion, etc. etc. (toothpaste and clothes folding can be worked out later).
If you meet someone that you like and they have trouble paying for lunch, and they have trouble paying their rent and utilities... You know that person is bad at handling money. Do you want to be with someone like that? People usually show who they are quickly. Either they're cheap, broke or stingy. If any of those traits show up within a few weeks of dating, forget it
Yeah, be careful because the people that don't spend money consciously and with intention toward life goals will call you anytime you say no to the whims of their desires to spend.
Yikes, if the main thing on your mind is how much I make then you are also thinking about how to take it from me. If all you care about is money then who cares about you. People in this country think a relationship is a business merger or more over a hostile takeover.
This is less about how much you make and more about your values and motivation. Doctors and lawyers can have a mountain of debt while a mechanic of the same age may be debt free and own his home outright. I am happily married out of college. Neither one of us had much money but we worked hard to pay off student loans and buy a house. Our first year of marriage we would have qualified for state aid, but we just lived frugally. It is less about income and more about mindset
I think on the first date I’d mention as part of my daily goals and activities that I enjoy being debt free. If that particular statement sparks a conversation, that would be really cool to know one way or the other how they feel about you even mentioning that. See how nerdy they are. ❤️
When men actually talk about their deal-breakers, they're called "misogynist". Women with high a high body-count and who act masculine will be be wife material.
Gradually but directly and in stages starting with vague 1000 foot view topics. Think of it like your searching for a meeting of the minds on a range of topics.
I told my GF that I had injured my back being accidentally pulled off of a stage when I was working a Bachelorette party.. she laughed after a moment and said "really"?..I said ... no it wasn't a bachelorette party it was commercial fishing.. but I know now how you handle outlandish statements
After being married for 21 years, divorced and remarried; deal with the issue of money right away, maybe put RUclips on and watch the show one day and then talk about money goals, spending habits. ONE thing you wil never get back is you time, you can get cars, houses, stuff back, but not your time, in my case not only that, but cannot have a child with the person I love most on the planet because of this.
The first date! I mean why not, no need to waste time talking about fluff and stupid stuff. You don't have to get super detailed like how much you make or how much debt you have but speaking to the persons general ideas of money management shouldn't be difficult to discuss.
Hahahahaha Dave is so out of the game he froze for a minute 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Kids, finances, values, abortion, family dynamics, etc. that should be discussed early on. Very mater of fact, no emotions, no judging. Sometimes people have opposite views and that’s not anyones fault just a preference.
I also ask on my first dates, "here's my junk, can you handle it?" as well. Some result in a wild night, some jail. You win some, you lose some I suppose.
It's not that complicated. All you need to know is in an _income statement,_ a _balance sheet statement,_ and a _cash flow statement._ Gotta make sure to look at the cash flow, as otherwise they may play games with depreciation and EBITDA to fool you. ( o.o)
@jimmymcgill6778 You got it buddy! If they will not stay with you when you are broke they are not the one. After they pass a few really bad dates show them the good dates. Got to test them!
@thaimuayshoo1171 1st couple dates should be to cheap places you like: McDs, Chicken 🐔 Fillet, BK, KFC, Taco Bell, etc. Don't waste good money on people who are not smart enough to see this is a test 😉.
I have two 23 year old twin nieces. They are winning it financially. I tell them to not discuss their finances with anyone, when they meet that right person sure have that conversation.
I'm thinking start looking at their attire, what they order on the menu, talk about house hunters, HGTV stuff, favorite talk shows, Dave Ramsey, idk play the rat race game😬

As with any topic in dating, think how long you would be okay not knowing something before realizing this person is not a good fit for you.
Really depends on the decade you're dating. In your 30's and 40's and beyond it will come up just like kids way quicker than in your teens or 20's.
Exactly! 30's and 40's people are looking for long term commitments, not interested in playing games at least some aren't.
True
I’ve noticed that too. My age range when I was looking was late 20s to early 40s.
How you deal with this depends on how you met. If you met in real life, have this discussion on the third date. By that time you know if you want to see this person regularly, but your emotions arn't so involved that you can't walk away.

Not when it's the only first date someone's going to get for the next 2 years

Dating and courtship is all an act. The real person comes out when you are actually living together.
Dave's words really enlightened her!
I give dating three months before I get serious. Till then it has a shelf life. At that point you will know all the red flags.
In the first month I usually have the conversation that starts "what are your financial, life, personal, academic goals?" that way you get to know then and their values and know if your paths align.
How has that worked out?

I’d say don’t make it just finance only. Talk about everything
This is excellent advice. So much wisdom. Huge difference between "recreational" dating -- shared sense of fun, no bad breath, attractiveness vs. "courting" -- relationship with parents, future kids, money, religion, etc. etc. (toothpaste and clothes folding can be worked out later).
I like the term courting
My money is not the concern of any of the women that I'm dating
Finances and how many kids etc should be discussed early on in the relationship in my opinion.
If it is that important to you, say it right away. That way the man knows EXACTLY where your intent lies and can plan an exit strategy
Be sure to ask to see their W2s for the past two years too. Seriously, use your head on this one. Talk about money when you feel the time is right
If you meet someone that you like and they have trouble paying for lunch, and they have trouble paying their rent and utilities... You know that person is bad at handling money. Do you want to be with someone like that? People usually show who they are quickly. Either they're cheap, broke or stingy. If any of those traits show up within a few weeks of dating, forget it
Cheep and stingy are fine . Broke not so much

The sooner the better! I don't want a first date with anyone who wants to live a debt lifestyle.
I worked with a young woman, who had a $10,600/mo mortgage.
What does this tell you?
Third date.
Before the first date. Nobody got time or money to waste.
First date you make her pay😁jk I’d agree with in a few weeks of talking/dating you should know where the other person stands financially
I think I would start with faith/religion after the second or third date. I want to know if I even like the guy.
Do it before the date, over the phone via text
Bring them on a date to KFC and see if they still stick around.
With a buy one get one free coupon.
@jimmymcgill6778 You got it buddy! If they will not stay with you when you are broke they are not the one. After they pass a few really bad dates show them the good dates. Got to test them!
I take my date to the McDonald's drive-thru first and if she complains, I give her the ole' Willy Wonka "You get nothing!".
@thaimuayshoo1171 1st couple dates should be to cheap places you like: McDs, Chicken 🐔 Fillet, BK, KFC, Taco Bell, etc. Don't waste good money on people who are not smart enough to see this is a test 😉.
All a woman wants from a man is a man with a beautiful and lot's of cash to spend on her. Life is not like you see on those silly Hollywood sitcoms.
Nvr. Just nvr discuss important subjects. Wait until the 10 year anniversary.
I have two 23 year old twin nieces. They are winning it financially. I tell them to not discuss their finances with anyone, when they meet that right person sure have that conversation.
I did the night I met my wife 25 years ago. Knew I wasn't wasting my time immediately. Faith, family and finances. Check check check...
Good for you!
I'm thinking start looking at their attire, what they order on the menu, talk about house hunters, HGTV stuff, favorite talk shows, Dave Ramsey, idk play the rat race game😬
Loius Vuitton is a red flag
In Texas your agreements are based on politics, religion, and nascar. 😂
I've talked ramsey on dates but only if your really relaxed talking about dramatic calls and stuff
Oakland? No thanks!
America? No thanks!
Same idea for job interviewing. Asking about salary early on to not waste everyone's time and energy.
Right after you introduce yourself 😉.
Have you heard of Dave Ramsey?
