Debt deal breaker? Money troubles could impact love life

The survey of 2,000 adults also asked about the amount of money that would be a dealbreaker for singles considering starting a new relationship. On average, $20,711 is considered a dealbreaker although the median is much lower at $1,000.

Nearly 85% of those who took the online survey agreed financial responsibility is an important quality in a romantic partner.

About two-thirds of respondents (67%) said they wouldn't continue to date someone who lied about how much debt they have.
