Signing the lease to my first real independent (not owned by a family member) place with my girlfriend tonight. I have no credit or rental history (just paid rent to family) but we got approved because of her rental history and job (she's a financial adviser). Which is good because I don't know the first fucking thing about debt, credit or finance. I haven't made any screw-ups but I really don't know what I'm doing either. I guess a clean slate is good but it's shit that no credit is worse than bad credit.
She made you a grown ass man. She is a keeper.
