The financial factor in modern dating

While the idea of dating someone for their wealth isn’t exactly revolutionary, searching for both love and money on apps can be more complicated than it seems. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that in 2022 alone, 70,000 Americans fell victim to online romance scams, collectively losing over $1.3 billion to con artists.

These scams often target individuals who are looking for a financially stable partner and do not recognize the potential dangers of focusing too much on someone’s wealth in the digital dating world.

Despite the risks, it seems that financial considerations are now firmly intertwined with the reach for love.

Invest in real estate without the headache of being a landlord

Imagine owning a portfolio of thousands of well-managed single family rentals or a collection of cutting-edge industrial warehouses. You can now gain access to a $1B portfolio of income-producing real estate assets designed to deliver long-term growth from the comforts of your couch.

The best part? You don’t have to be a millionaire and can start investing in minutes.

Is modern dating hopeless?

As financial considerations become more central to modern dating, it’s easy to feel disillusioned. With platforms like OkCupid now asking users about their financial status, such as “Would you date someone with considerable debt?” – it might seem like love is being overshadowed by money.

However, according to a Valentine’s Day survey by Bread Financial, while some singles are intrigued by wealth, most are attracted to financial responsibility. This means budgeting, saving and managing debt rank higher in desirability than flashy wealth.

While occasional gestures like picking up the tab are nice, they’re not the foundation of a long-lasting relationship.
