I think she is right on. I have so many friends who have gotten involved [-]with men[/-] before knowing their financial situations, and once emotionally involved, got financially screwed. Not to say that all men are users,or even women for that matter. I do think it very important to know your potential mates very well before getting so emotionally involved. Tho in this day and age, its hop into bed first, then ask their name.
There is nothing wrong in protecting your financial interests. If people took her advice, far fewer would get financially screwed.
