Furthermore, women care about their partner's credit score more than men -- and unsurprisingly, millennials care way more about other factors, like how much money their partner makes right now.
Still, a bad credit score can make life pretty hard and prevent future loans and home mortgages.Not to mention that when a couple marries, their credit score is taken on average. That means no matter how high your score is, someone else can always bring you down. Welp.
