I've always heard as the relationship progresses a couple needs to talk about finances and the like. How in depth should u go? What should we discuss. What should be kept private until engagement/marriage

Since finances are the top reason for divorce, this should be divulged when talk of engagement begins.
I'd honestly hate to marry a man and on the honeymoon find out he's $85,000 in debt and only makes $35,000 a year. I expect a man would want to know these details as well.
I agree...................Personally, and this might sound sexist, I think its more important for me me to know about his finances than he about mine (excluding debt). But then again, I would like to be able to live on one paycheck as much as possible so anything I earn would be extra. Nice to dream right?
My BFF has a baby daddy. He gives $400 a month towards the child's expenses. Well girl got her tax refund and he knows how much she had gotten back. Dude stop giving as much and then turned around and asked her $700 these things could b avoided if the guy knows as little as possible
I was just discussing this with some friends who by the way are married. I am single and they all talked about never discussing how much you make with your spouse because they always expect you to do more. One friend said once her husband found out how much she made he stop paying for gas, and giving her extra money for lunch and so on. I was advised with urgency to NEVER EVER let a man know what you are making. Well against there advice I did the opposite with a guy I had been dating for awhile, I told him how much I made as he told me his salary also, well guess what he started asking ME for money....I was shocked because he seemed to be so into going out of his way to do for me before he knew what I was making and he didn't seem to me to be the type to ask for money even if he was on hard times. Well needless to say we stop dating and it taught me a lesson, to not be so quick to discuss finances until you are sure of the character of the man and that he is secure with what he has before discussing any finances with him. Honestly I don't think I will ever tell a man what I make, husband or otherwise.
