I don't know how easy or difficult it is to find this, but nowadays, I believe in "financial compatibility". Like many other aspects of compatibility, such as having similar interests or beliefs, money really need to be in sync as well.
I used to think money and "love" clashed. Quite the opposite, the more serious a relationship is, the more it matters. We would like to believe that people can live on love alone, but in practice, it's really money that makes it possible. It's not so much that it buys love, but actually keeps love alive. Money is the foundation that dreams are built on....
In fact, for men, I think the financial commitment comes in early through dating.
Interesting that this thread comes up as I was rambling about something similar last night about it.
