NEW YORK, (Reuters) – The sexy sheets Jess Morgan and Grant enjoy together aren’t just for their bed. He’s serious about building a family and his financial spreadsheets make her appreciate him.

Bainbridge Island, Washington couple meticulously records their search for their first vehicle. This includes calculating gas mileage, storage space and maintenance costs, as well as the purchase of a second-hand 2012 Toyota Prius.

Morgan, 32, said that Morgan’s attractive characteristic is his ability to manage money. My husband has a great sense of responsibility when it comes to money. He won’t buy to please anyone nor be fashionable.

Morgan isn’t the only one.

Affirm has released a survey that found that the top trait millennials value is the ability to control their finances. 1 attractive trait in a partner.

That attracted 51% of millennials. 49% were interested in financial stability. Next came the typical characteristics of a romance squeeze: sense of humor (48%), or physical appearance (46%).

Ashley Feinstein Gerstley of Affirm said, “One thing that really stood out in the survey was that financial habits were such a top priority for a partner.”

This survey didn’t track the income of a partner, only the capacity to manage it well, no matter how large or modest.

Lesley Anne Scorgie (a Toronto-based author) said that most people would like their partner to be financially sound so the relationship can grow.

Scorgie, president of the financial education firm MeVest, says that Scorgie and her husband began talking about money as soon as they were married. Scorgie said that it’s more about dreaming of the future than about paying back the past.

A partner who has out-of-control money habits can be a sign of trouble. Affirm surveyed 68% and found bad finances to be a red flag for a partner. A staggering 78% said that they would end a relationship with someone who manages money badly.

The millennial generation, which was born between 1981 and 1996, is particularly sensitive to financial issues when it comes to potential partners. Americans cited a sense of humor as their most appealing trait.

The economic whipsawing of the past years has made millennials more aware of financial stability than their older counterparts like Baby Boomers. Gerstley, who is a money coach, founded The Fiscal Femme in order to assist women with financial empowerment and greater equality.

She stated that “Millennials were able to survive the Great Recession at a time when many of them had just started looking for jobs.”

They saw how the pandemic had an impact on their lives and their families. “They are living in the aftermath of the pandemic. Therefore, it is obvious that their financial security would be paramount to them.”

Even if your looks are not what you desire, the best magnetic traits might just be something that seems boring, such as balancing a checkbook or putting money in a Roth IRA.

Scorgie suggested to singles that they do some budgeting and eliminate unnecessary debt. Then, plan your retirement. All this will make your a popular choice on the dating circuit.
