Millennials, at times, may prioritize money over love. 

“Relationships come and go, marriage is either overrated or something you really desire, and children, god bless them, cost a lot of money. Debt follows you around, chews at the hems of your garments, and screams at you in the night.”

Megan Reynolds, writing for jezebel.com about a survey from financial services company Comet that found that almost a third of the millennials surveyed would break up with their significant other in exchange for a $37,000 raise. Reynolds argues that’s fine because debt sucks.
