my advice for you single guys and gals...
find somebody who has the same mindset as you when it comes to HOW TO MANAGE finances. the way people save/spend money....causes major conflict in relationships. this is speaking from experience and based on observations of friend's relationships. and isn't money the main reason for divorce?

Oh so very true! But i want to add to your advice, or change it up a bit, find someone that you are compatible with in financial mindsets. You dont need to find someone that has the exact same mindset, just someone that is willing to "give and take" with you. (just a thought :P) seen many couples with a complete opposite money view, but still turn out to be very successful and happy.
Very true with op. I'm in my early 20's and the dating scene around my age group is generally based off of the "bling and personality" one has. The majority of girls just go for the guy that knows how to treat them right, as in buying them things, doing sweet lil things for them, all those cutesy bf/gf things that high school kids do.
But since my age range in friends is quite diverse, i've managed to observe the older, mid to late 20's girl that are slowly transitioning into the security as priority, good husband type of guys, or guys that has a goal or future. In general a guy that shows potential in make money or is making a lot of money beacuse money is security to them, and girls want security... well don't we all ><
so back to Conan, ya I do the exact same thing, I save and save, and spend on what i need and not want. Having a big fluffy cushion is better then hitting the cement. :P
