Should you date based on credit score? Yes.

YOUR credit score is definitely important when applying for a credit card or personal loan. But should you also consider it when searching for your significant other? I would actually argue ‘yes’, because money – or the lack of it – is still the number one cause for breakups of relationships and your credit score is a reflection of your money habits.

Now, it is easy to say you are a saver, but are you practicing what you preach? Credit scores are based on your past factual behaviour and are therefore a better indicator of your future behaviour than what you are saying about your own financial behaviour.
