I was blessed to find someone who loved to travel and was retired. When we were first seeing each other, she got a fortune cookie that read, "You will set foot on many strange lands". At that point she did not even have a passport
She still has that fortune in her passport case, 42 countries and 10 years later.
As far as finances, at the time I was still wor%%ing, as I had to have my late wife's medical covered. After she passed away, I still continued for lack of anything else to do.
Then I met DW, who was financially struggling in the aftermath of her husband's passing. She was very up front about her situation, but I hung back for obvious reasons. When we got really serious, I let her look at my balance sheet, just to be aboveboard about everything.
She then revealed her finances to me. The reason she held back was that her older son warned her not to tell anyone what she had, which I thought was reasonable advice.
