Ramit Sethi argues that your choice of life partner is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. Even high earners can fail to build wealth if their partner has credit card debt and destructive money habits. Love doesn't fix someone's fiscal irresponsibility.
Even a high income does not guarantee wealth if you ignore one of the biggest money decisions of all, which is number 7, the person you partner with. Some of you make horrible decisions about your relationship. What the fuck is wrong with you? Um, I'm not sure why my partner is in credit card debt. Oh really? How long has he been in debt for? Um, since we met, but also 20 years before that. Gee, I wonder why this person is continuing the exact same pattern they've been doing for their entire adult life. Who could have known? Except everyone! Who you choose to spend your life with does not seem like it would be a financial decision. It's about kisses and love. Y'all are living in a freaking Disney movie.
