Student loans are the new herpes

New York Times: nobody wants to date a deadbeat:

Lauren Dollard, a 26-year-old assistant at a nonprofit in Houston, said her low credit score had helped to stall her romantic plans. Her boyfriend is wary of marrying her until she can significantly pay down the more than $150,000 she owes in student loans and bolster her credit score, she said.

Ms. Dollard’s credit score is so low, around 600, that she hasn’t been able to qualify for a car loan. She sympathizes with her boyfriend’s position because he “doesn’t ever want to be accountable for the irresponsible financial decision I made,” she said.

As an aside, my dad still had student debt when he met my mom (he was almost 40 then), and she paid his debt off. :eek:
 
Is there a way to find out if someone owes a ton of debt and is hiding it from you?

Just asking.
 
Hell I'm almost 53 and still have the GI bill.........Wonder if I should sell the business and sign up for pre-med..










NOT!
 
The truth hurts, I am with a girl right now and we are about to celebrate 11 months together. 5 minutes into our first date i asked "so how much student loan debt do you have?"

If she had 30-50k i MIGHT have been fine but 150k? The girl in the article is an "assistant at a nonprofit" which means she probably went to an expensive school for a useless degree while impressing her friends and family. Yeah.... i would steer clear of that woman also.
 
I predicted this well over a decade ago. A woman with a large amount of un-dischargable debt is unmarriageable.
