I'm very lucky that my wife and I have similar views on money. I don't remember how much we really talked about it back when we were dating, but I agree that it's one of the most important points of compatibility that a couple should consider pretty early on in a relationship. That's a great list of questions, too, and they really are relevant to figuring out how similar your core views are!<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-8553">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> You make some excellent points.
