A 2024 survey commissioned by BMO found that 35% of partnered Canadians believe their significant other spends too much money, while 36% admit they are not always truthful to their partner about their finances. Finances are often a point of contention in relationships, which can include shared credit card debt, everyday spending and discretionary expenses. That same BMO survey revealed people are most concerned about their partner’s mortgage debt, credit card balances and credit score.
