In February, a TD survey revealed that Canadians are not only prioritizing their hearts, but also their wallets. The study, which polled Canadians aged 18 and older, found that more than half of gen Z (52%) wanted their partner to sign a prenup if they get married or enter a common-low relationship compared to the national average of 31%.
Among Canadians surveyed, gen Z showed the strongest feelings around finances in relationships with 65% saying their partner’s net worth is important to them when starting a relationship compared to the national average of 57%.
In addition, one in four Gen Z respondents admitted they likely wouldn’t date someone who earns less than them.
Also, 71% of respondents said they would consider breaking up with a partner if they discovered they were being dishonest about their finances; 65% would consider a breakup if their partner never offered to pay for anything; and 56% may break up over a partner’s bad spending habits.
