I know this has been discussed before- and it's a very important topic. What do you do when you find out the man you are dating has been or is in financial trouble? Say bankruptcy, severe debt and/or bad credit?

Is this a dealbreaker for you. What are your biggest concerns? He's a great guy otherwise. Do you keep trucking? Does age influence your decision?

Dealbreaker for me, sorry. I have great credit, and that's allowed me to do some great things in life. He might be a great guy otherwise, but it's not worth ruining my finances for a guy. Somwhere out there there will be a guy who's just as great as him, but with good credit.

Stacey,

I love your honesty and strength. It takes a lot of huevos to admit what you just did and I'm very impressed. That quality in itself will get you where you want to be in life. Well that and hard work...lol.

You can do it!

Please read my posting above...I am pretty much in the same boat, and people should not be so quick to judge. We are doing our best to clean up our debt issues.

We will make it! :)
