As a Finance Professor, I find it incredibly ironic that many people get married without talking about money. They talk about every kind of compatibility from emotional, to spiritual, sexual, and professional, but they seldom take the time necessary to ensure that they can tolerate the idea of sharing their financial life with a person who may not be on the same page. This problem is compounded in black relationships, where many women describe economic hurdles as one of the reasons that black women have trouble finding the right mate.

Do you think part of the reason couples do not talk about money, http://blackwomenandmoney.com/are-men-intimidated-by-black-woman-making-more-money/
Women may not want to offend their soon to be spouse or the man might not want the woman to know how bad his credit is.
I had a cousin tell me once, ALL black men have bad credit. Even though this is not true, at the time she told me I was young and I believed.
