How important is family background to you?

It's not background per se but values they were brought up with.

For example - I could never see myself with a guy who's been brought up to live on credit, spend lavishly etc. That is completely counter to how I was raised. A person could be poor or rich and still be raised with the "spend more than you have" mindset. I hope I'm making sense.

Agreed. If a person has been brought up with certain values that are the OPPOSITE of mine, it can be a deal breaker for me. The family itself isn't the issue.

I do have an issue with "nosy moms" who like to be all in their kids business though.
