Is Your Spouse A Financial Blunder?


7. He’s Always Borrowing

It’s cheap if s/he always borrows from some or the other person or spending too much and increasing the credit card bills. It's always good to keep his credit scores in check after marriage. You might not be the one with higher income between the two but still have a better credit score than your spouse. It doesn’t mean that you will pay off his debts all the time.

Split the bills but not the debt because you are not the one who took the debt or used the credit card innumerable times. Once you commit this mistake of sharing the credit cards, then you might have to pay the whole 5 or 6 figures amount, though you haven’t spent a fraction of it. May it wouldn’t have mattered to you during your premarital status, as you were not accounted for his/her debts, but after marriage, it definitely matters. So don’t be shy to back off from such situations of sharing crested bills, at least not too early.
