Millennials and Gen Z prioritize partner finances in relationships, survey finds

A recent survey by TD Bank reveals a significant shift in dating attitudes among younger generations, with Millennials and Gen Z prioritizing financial stability in potential partners more than older demographics. This trend, influenced by economic pressures like student debt and inflation, leads many to consider a partner's financial health as a key factor in relationship decisions. The survey also indicates a growing acceptance of prenuptial agreements among younger adults, viewed as a tool for wealth planning rather than a sign of distrust, potentially stemming from observed parental divorces.
