In one anecdote a 31 year old flight attendant was quickly disenchanted when asuitor asked about her credit score on their very first date.去年大約這個(gè)時(shí)候，紐約時(shí)報(bào)(New York Times)刊出的一篇文章引發(fā)了熱烈的討論，

17、文章報(bào)道美國(guó)年輕人流行打聽(tīng)自己心儀對(duì)象的信用評(píng)分，以衡量對(duì)方是否值得追求。有這樣一段軼事，當(dāng)追求者在雙方第一次約會(huì)中問(wèn)及她的信用評(píng)分時(shí)，一位31歲的空姐突然立刻不再抱幻想。Like our dating lives, a persons relationship to money cannot be boiled down to a singlestatistic. Maybe wait a few dates to bring up nitty gritty details like credit scores and 401kbalances. Instead Levinson says

18、you should see if the relationship has legs and keep an eyeout for patterns. Does one partner always pay Are you are being overly generous, whileyour partner is being tightfisted How does that make you feel跟約會(huì)那樣，人與金錢的關(guān)系不能簡(jiǎn)單歸結(jié)為一個(gè)數(shù)字。也許等約會(huì)過(guò)幾次，再打聽(tīng)彼此的信用評(píng)分以及401K退休金戶頭余額等這些具體細(xì)節(jié)吧。萊文森表示，重點(diǎn)要看這段戀愛(ài)關(guān)系是否能長(zhǎng)久，密切注意交往

19、模式。是否總是一方在付錢你是否過(guò)于慷慨，而約會(huì)對(duì)象特別摳門這讓你有什么感覺(jué)If you are unhappy with your money exchanges, Levinson recommends approaching the topicin the same way you might the dirty socks your girlfriend leaves around. You always leave yoursocks on the floor and thats irritating to me. Why dont you put them in the hamper

20、 is notso different from saying, You never let me pay for dinner and thats irritating to me. What isthat about for you Dont criticize, but instead try to come to a mutual understanding of whyyou each behave the way you do.如果你對(duì)你們的金錢往來(lái)不滿意，萊文森建議，解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題可以仿效處理女朋友亂扔臟襪子的做法。你總是把襪子扔在地板上，這讓我很惱火。為什么不把襪子放在洗衣籃里其

21、實(shí)這樣說(shuō)沒(méi)有多大不同：你總是不讓我請(qǐng)你吃晚餐，這讓我很惱火。這是怎么回事不要批評(píng)對(duì)方，而是嘗試相互理解，為什么你們各自會(huì)有這種行為。Married financial planners Scott and Bethany Palmer describe money as a laboratory, byobserving your love-interests spending habits you can get to know him or her.

23、貝瑟尼帕爾默(Bethany Palmer)把金錢形容為一座實(shí)驗(yàn)室，通過(guò)觀察心儀對(duì)象的消費(fèi)習(xí)慣，可以了解對(duì)方的為人。比如說(shuō)，如果你注意到，和你約會(huì)過(guò)幾次的女友花錢很仔細(xì)，你可以稱贊她的自我控制力。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)她花錢大手大腳，也可以詢問(wèn)她在財(cái)務(wù)方面以外的冒險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷。斯科特說(shuō)，約會(huì)的時(shí)候，實(shí)際上是有機(jī)會(huì)看清楚對(duì)方是什么樣的人的。There are, however, also warnings signs to look for. You may want to rethink a relationship ifsomeone is unwilling to discuss money, lies a

Once we are in love withsomebody, Levinson notes, we are vulnerable to taking care of someone in ways that

25、arenot healthy.當(dāng)然也有些信號(hào)要警惕。如果對(duì)方不愿討論金錢，對(duì)財(cái)務(wù)狀況撒謊，只有索取沒(méi)有付出，那么你可能就要重新考慮與之的關(guān)系。也許你的約會(huì)對(duì)象會(huì)說(shuō)，他有把小費(fèi)放在桌子上留給親切友好的女服務(wù)生，但當(dāng)你回去找落下的太陽(yáng)眼鏡時(shí)，卻沒(méi)有看到。不要放過(guò)這樣的危險(xiǎn)信號(hào)。萊文森指出，一旦愛(ài)上某個(gè)人，我們就很容易用一些不健康的方式去縱容對(duì)方。A psychotherapist, Levinson is currently working with a couple that has been dating for fouryears and wants to buy a house. Both partners have steady incomes, but one has additionalfamily money. Generous with small expenses, the partner with extra funds wants t
