I doubt that I would find myself loving someone in the "for the rest of my life" mindset who exhibited such poor self control that they weren't able to establish financial stability and fiscal responsibility. It's an indicator of other self-control issues, issues which would be more likely to end the relationship than a poor credit rating.

I'm also not one of those who subscribes to fairy tale ideal of "better poor and in love than rich and unhappy" mindset. I don't intend to be destitute, and the 'happy' or 'unhappy' status is not mutually exclusive with that goal. I'm not talking about being extremely wealthy here, only comfortable. It should be "better comfortable and happy than poor and happy or rich and unhappy."
