If a potential husband has debt, how much of a red flag is this and what does it depend on?

If a potential husband has debt, why does he have the debt?

Is it student loan debt that he's working in the industry that he took the loan out for and he's paying off?

Is it a scheduled debt or a non scheduled debt?

Scheduled debt, meaning a student loan debt or mortgage debt or an investment debt for buying into some kind of real estate project over time. All of those are generally, they're going to be paid monthly.

You have to have income for and are manageable.

If they are large amounts of outstanding debt, like consumer debt, credit card debt, unpaid taxes, fines and fees, or large amounts that were borrowed from people or that have been stipulated due to lawsuits. Those to me are the red flags.

Another huge red flag is large amounts of student debt for a degree that is not being used. So somebody goes and they take out tons of loans to go to a law school and then they're unable to pass the bar and they're working uber.

The probability that they will pay off those debts is low. That amount of debt will affect your quality of life and it will affect your quality of life whether we're talking about a potential husband or potential wife.

In fact, I find a lot of women have massive amounts of student debt and come into marriages expecting their husbands to pay that debt off for them. Again, if you have debts from before marriage, they are your responsibility and your responsibility alone.

So large amounts of unmanageable debt, especially unsecured debt are very, very huge red flags. So be very careful.
