Usually, single women like to date men who can manage finances well. Debt is a major turnoff for the women. They would rather stay single instead of mingling with men burdened with the debt load.

Lies about money and debt related matters are enough to break a relationship.

The GenY men and women believe that it is important for the partners to have a similar view about money to have a successful relationship.
