Credit Score and Love Life

by | Aug 23, 2017 | CBS Radio Report


Credit Score and Love LifeWant to have a great love life? Start with a high credit score.

According to a new survey just reported by Bloomberg Business, financial responsibility was ranked as a very or extremely important quality in a potential mate by 69% of 2,000 online daters. That high ranking placed financial responsibility ahead of a sense of humor at 67%, attractiveness at 51%, ambition at 50%, courage at 41% and modesty at 39%. And thanks to the internet or a friendly banker, it’s a lot easier to find the credit score of a potential mate than to put a number on someone’s sense of humor, courage or modesty.

Of course attractiveness is a lot more subjective and harder to quantify. Beauty is after all in the eye of the beholder. In addition to finding a potential mates credit score, you can go to Google or LinkedIn to research their business background. Of course all this research may not matter if you simply fall head over heels in love at first sight.
