Only if your truely in love. I have student loan debt 13k, but my girlfriend at the time ruined my credit completely....as a result we broke up for about a week. I realized she was more important. We got back together, got married, got our finances straighted out, but will suffer a few more years due to ruined credit. But I got a great job, pays extremely well, an awesome benefits package and she works because she wants to. It's not just my debt or her debt. It's our debt. Even though we incurred it while single, it's now ours. Besides, two paychecks can really eat that debt away!

Depends if they're a gold digger or not.

If they're not and really in it for the love and stuff then sure.

But if they only want marriage for the financial benefits then no.

If I wanted to marry the person sure. This is a person that educated them self the only way that they could. This is not a person that runs up debt and does not plan to pay for it. There is a big difference.

no i would not because it will follow u when u marry them, and if they can't be trusted with the Small stuff in life like paying their bills, how could u trust them with your heart.

Nope no way in h**l I would credit means everything and if their credit is shot well than that means your credit is shot also. sorry but I would never waste my time dealing with that. I have excellent credit and wouldnt want to have to take over everything and have someone reioun my credit 100,000 in debt I would be running from them

That would not be a wise decision. Money is a big issue and $100K is a ton of issues! We have to own up to our past decisions!

I would be very cautious... and these facts would have to be true. The $37,000 they were pulling in would have to be their entry level salary in a field that was eventually going to be earning them 2-4 times that kind of salary over the next 5-10 years... the only other option would be that if I was so well off that I could afford to help them out. Trust me that romantically I say choose love over money but at the same time if you start things off with one foot in the financial grave, it is going to change your expectations for your life and possibly even the opportunities that you can offer your children. You really have to decide what is most important to you and what you want out of life... maybe all you want is to have this person in your life with you forever? Good Luck!

Though one should try to ignor such position; but sometimes we have to consider ones circumstances, one postion or ability to repay debt and the purpose of debt. If one is in debt due to some geniue and good reason than why shall we not help him/her? But if it is not so then you should not have second thougt for him/her.
