A Yearly Salary Lower Than This Is A Dating Turn Off
Dating just got a little more complicated for American singles. A new survey by Western and Southern Financial reveals that when it comes to dating, earning less than $30,000 a year is a deal breaker.
Specifically, people expect their partners to make more than $29,878 annually. This is lower than the median annual salary in the US in 2021 — which is about $37,522 — according to the US Census Bureau data.
Even though respondents said they were looking for a partner making at least that much, only Baby boomers listed “too low a salary” as one of their top three dating deal breakers. The top deal breaker for this generation was personal loans. Credit card debt and no investments vied for the third place.
Millennials listed credit card debt as the generation’s top deal breaker, while irresponsible spending and personal loans came in the second and third place, respectively.
For Gen Z, the top deal breaker was a lack of financial literacy, while student loans and personal loans came in the second and third position, respectively.
Across the board, almost 30% of those surveyed said they wished they had talked about salaries sooner — but paychecks weren’t the be-all and end-all.
