“Bachelor” alumni say you should talk about money on dates –

There was a good conversation, the spark was flying, and you handed the bill to. The next question in your mind: How do they handle their money?

This can be an uncomfortable subject that some people stay away from. But Jason Tartick, former “Bachelor” star, trade secret host and financial expert, Jason Tartick, It is appropriate to think that it is just as long as you approach in the right way – without shame, it is possible to raise funds on your first date.

Tartick, who recently partnered with a fintech company to bring financial conversations to the forefront of dating, hasn’t shy away from tricky issues. On August 14, he hosted Chime’s speed dating event in New York City, where he shared some lessons on financial transparency.

Tartick’s grandfather was 16 years old and sat down for a very candid conversation. He learned that his grandfather was exploited by a financial consultant and lost about half of his wealth. He told Tarthik: “I’m going to teach you the financial situation because in this world people will lie, they will cheat, but numbers will never lie.” Since then, Tarthik has always been fascinated by the way numbers work.

After appearing in Season 14 of The Bachelor, Tartick set up a substantial social media, started a podcast that explored the taboos surrounding money and career, and then went on to write two books, “Talk to Me” and “Restart Roadmap.” He said that working with Chime, known for its free online banking, is exactly in line with his values.

He explained: “When we talk about things related to money, we arm ourselves…what we need to do is dismantle and disarm. I don’t think dating one, date, we need to carry ‘`What is your income’, ‘What is your credit score?’.”

Instead of jumping into money, Tartick asked questions related to money, which are interesting, almost gender-based, “not that intense.” One example: How would you spend a million dollars in 24 hours? Such creativity is a great way to learn a person’s relationship with money.

Asked how Generation Z approaches dating in this economy, Tartick quotes Chime’s “Attachment Love” survey, which highlights how financial expectations develop across generations. According to Tartick, “cost affects everything – our income, our spending, and even the way we choose to date.”

He noted that 74% of singles surveyed said rising costs were essentially affecting their dating lives. In the group, 31% said they had actually cancelled the date due to the fees. Evolving gender roles are also at work. Nearly half of men think men should pay for all dates, and only one-third of women agree. Taltick’s advice: Skip expensive dinners and expensive cocktails.

Choose to take a walk in the park, consider hiking or find a free or discounted museum. Another option is to turn on the FaceTime phone first to find out if there is any spark before spending any dollar. Tartick even had a friend who planned dinner, but from before a walk, check for sparks and sit down. With the right connection, conversations are more important than setting them up.

“We’re also seeing a shift in Gen Z, their ability and desire to convey the truth financially,” Tartick revealed. He noted that most millennials and Zers gen actually found someone helpful to their income, but exaggerated wealth could be a disruptor.

Tartick doesn’t think if someone lacks finances Sharppoor credit score, low income, and even debt. “That’s not a problem. We know that most Americans have some kind of problem with this problem. For me, the biggest red flag is when someone lies on purpose…”

He also pointed out that there is a correlation between the lying people, and then lying, and then lying. A 2021 study showed that at least one person has financially infidelity in 43% of married and cohabiting couples, which is a problem that can lead to divorce.

About 33% of Chime respondents think it’s a shutdown when someone overspending, while 26% say they get “financial status” from the sting kiss. He stressed: “We saw this generational shift that people like, ‘We found a shutdown… We don’t want to go beyond and be praised, we don’t want to spend under our means and think we can get rid of it. We just want to be honest.”

If Tartick has any advice on Zoomers browsing the dating pool and feeling financially stressed, remember that Gen Z is expected to be the richest generation by 2040. “Be smart and be open now because you know that the wealth of this generation is bright.”

Dating and settling can feel expensive, but wages are growing, and opportunities to make money through social media, business and technology soar. Companies like Chime also provide users with a range of financial tools that make it easier for people to control their financial situation and invest in what really matters – to make meaningful connections.

“If we talk about it, we can actually connect with intention, not consumption, which will put us all in a healthier, happier, richer state,” Tartick advises.
