I am 33 and she is 26. The issue here is she wasn't honest about CC debt before we got engaged. She lied about $14k in credit card debt before we got engaged. We then purchased a car that was outside our budget for her due to this lie. I found out the debt she had and she owned up to it. My main concern is will this behavior continue? I am anal when it comes to finances and I abhor credit card debt for frivolous purchases and finding this out has me extremely upset. I am purchasing my home, I have $25k in student loans, I was upfront about that and don't carry a balance for a car loan or credit card balance.I am seriously thinking about calling off the engagement, because I don't want to live in debt or above my means. My question is should I run for the hills early as this is a sign of more things to come? Or should I try to work things out?
She would prefer a $20k wedding and getting a new home after our future kids get bigger. I just don't know if our financial perspectives are too far apart to see eye to eye for our future choices. Did any one that's currently married have any solid advice here? Did your spouse change to become a saver or did the behavior worsen?

Put the internet to work for you.
