What about marrying someone who is not financially responsible? My BF talks about marraige in a few months but I told him I want to wait more than that so right now I am curious more than concerned.

Though he states no debt I suspect his credit is awful. He was saying how when people marry they should have everything the same, the bank account, the bills should be shared, etc. His Cable just got shut off because he forgot to pay his bill. He has only 48 hours left to pay taxes and it's a good chance they'll be late. I paid mine the day I got them in the mail and my credit score is near perfect. And for the past 6 years I have paid all the bills on my house I own with anything else.

My girlfriend who had a bad marraige leaving her with severe debt asked her new BF for a credit check before she put the name on the mortgage. This seems harsh but fair to me. I think my BF is responsible with his job, kids, etc but not financing. Even if he has no debt he is extremely unorganized.

Who has married someone with a bad financial mindset? How did you address the issue? Was any system worked out?
