In this economy, millennials and Gen Z would rather break up than date someone in debt: ‘There’s a pretty big divide’

A TD Bank survey found that 46% of Americans are influenced by a partner's debt or financial habits when considering a serious relationship, with Millennials and Gen Z being significantly more likely than older generations. The article attributes this shift to economic pressures like student debt and inflation, making personal finance inseparable from relationship evaluations. Additionally, over half of respondents indicated they would consider prenuptial agreements, suggesting a cultural trend toward financial planning in relationships.
