[Confidential] Should I tell her?

The following is an anonymous post. If the original poster would like to reply to any comments, please PM me


So I meet this girl and we hit it off very well. Everything just clicks. One thing is that she doesn't like people lying to her. Last weekend the topic of financial casually came up and she ask if I have any debt? She doesn't care if I was in debt but rather wants to knwo the truth.

Now I have made some pretty bad mistakes when I was younger and I was in debt (well still I guess). I paid off my student loan this year (YAY!) And I will paid off my credit card debt by May latest. Although some of my debt got send to collections, I did try my best to pay them off (yes my credit raiting is horrible). I made the effort to have them all paid off. I would say I have a total of about $3k left now on my credit card which isn't much.

I told her I don't have any debt since I know it will be paid off soon. Since is mostly credit card debt and I am still using it so it wasn't such a big deal. Now I am starting to wonder I should have just told her the tuth that I have about $3000 in credit card debt that I will have it paid off by May.

At this point should I just tell her the truth or paid it off as quickly as possible and don't mention about it? She is a really sweet girl and we both are serious about each other and is looking for a serious relationship.
