About this episode

The episode discusses a Federal Reserve study linking credit scores to the longevity of romantic relationships.

This one blew my mind. The Federal Reserve did a 15 year study over 12 million people and found an equation for determining how long a relationship might last depending on the credit score gap. Woah- wait, what?! Your credit score and profile is so much more than just a report to determine your interest rate or if you will be approved for a loan... it is a report of character. The Federal Reserve conducted this study to learn more about financial behaviors and accidentally stumbled on findings of relationship success based on credit scores at the time of starting a relationship. I found it fascinating and wanted to share this with you today.
