Have you seriously talked money issues with your SO? what topics have you covered? Do you agree on money management, goals, savings, education funds, limits, sharing, etc?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My fiance and I started discussing money matters before we were even engaged. We agree on all major points and most minor points, although we do have a few slightly differing opinions - nothing that clashes horribly or anything, thankfully! He is a little more conservative with money than I am, but we balance each other out in that respect, so for the most part, we see eye to eye on money-related issues.

All of them. We agree on most, but the ones we don't agree on, we don't need to agree on.

We agree that we pay our bills at all costs and if we have extra we try to save or spend a little because you only live once. The most important thing is that we agree to protect out credit and never fall into debt.

yes, money is a big issue with us because of flight costs to see each other. i would really like to save the next few months and get out of debt i incurred over the last year of paying a costly certification monthly and buying a house.
but if we don't fly to see each other then our relationship suffers in other ways.. :/
we really have a stressful relationship. the time we've spent together has been wonderful, but 98% of the time has been away and it is very hard.
we also have cell-phone expenses.. this month i got a bill close to $200 because we weren't with the same company. since then he has switched..
but yeh. money is a big stresser in my life with my boyfriend. i'm really want to save money right now, it bothers me that i'm paying for cellphone bills and plane flights when i need to be financial stable for our future.
we'll see. luckily i am getting a raise this year

Not in detail. When we started dating again in March we discussed tithing and that we both did not believe in bankruptcy unless we couldn't afford food and housing. He has let me know without specifics that his money is tight and it sounds like he's carrying a credit card balance. I know this is an issue we would have to explore if we decided to marry.
