Swipe Right or Declined? The Real Price of Love & Money

Love is priceless, but it’ll cost you.

We’re hitting the streets to ask real people how love and money collide in their relationships, covering everything from budgeting to investing, joint tax returns, and financial dealbreakers.

We mean business

Our ace correspondent Jeff is out there risking life and limb to get the hard truths, like who actually picks up the check, and daring to ask the question: “Would you date someone with bad credit?”

This is real talk about love, money, and the sometimes awkward ways they intersect. Because nothing kills the mood faster than a declined card

Bad credit & good vibes

Would you mind if your soulmate had a 520 credit score? It’s not like you can check FICO scores before catching feelings. 

We took to the streets to find out. The answers? Surprising. Divisive. Possibly relationship-ending.

Watch now and let us know where you stand.

And feeling like your credit needs improvement? MoneyLion can help you find and compare credit builders: 

To the moon! Together?

Investing is smart. Not talking about it with your partner? Not so much.

We went on a fact-finding mission to ask: How much is too much to invest before you need to have “the talk”? Some said a couple hundred is fine; others drew the line at 20% of their income.

Tune in and tell us what you think. 

Speaking of income – why not consider more income opportunities? 

How far would you go for love (and a tax refund)?

In every couple, there’s one person who files the taxes and one who just hopes for a refund.

We went out into the field to learn more. We asked people who take charge when tax season rolls around, and the answers were predictably chaotic. Then we threw a curveball: If you had to spend your entire refund on one date, what would you do? Let’s just say financial planning was not a priority.

So, are you the tax pro or the one hoping for the best? Watch and let us know.

Romance is great, but have you seen restaurant prices lately?

We dispatched our crack investigator to ask real people how they budget for dating, and let’s just say… some answers made sense, while others made us question their life choices.

Is there a smart way to budget for love? Or are some people just out here risking their rent money for a good meal?

Watch and decide.
