Money can be a factor to some extent when choosing a romantic partner. From deciding who will pay for the first date to figuring out how to split the bills when you move in together, money will come up many times during your relationship.According to a recent Harris Poll survey of more than 2,100 Americans age 18 and older, 74% of single adults say financial security is one of the most attractive characteristics in a partner, and 60% say financial compatibility is more important than chemistry in today’s economy.

Manchester City progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup with an unconvincing 2-0 victory over League Two side Salford.Josep Guardiola’s side beat their neighbors 8-0 last season, but needed an early Alfie Dorrington own goal and a late Marc Gehi goal to win the game at the Etihad Stadium. But City, who made nine changes, didn’t need to be close to their best. An unfortunate intervention by Dorrington in the 6th minute greatly diminished the intensity of the game, and City were effective from then on.This gave Salford some composure and former Liverpool midfielder Ben Woodburn forced a…

Secretary of State Marco Rubio placed a velvet glove on the Trump administration’s still-clenched fist during a high-profile speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, offering some reassurance to European leaders worried that the United States remains committed to its long-standing partnership but will not retreat from fundamental demands for a change of direction on many fronts. Mr. Rubio’s message that the U.S. government has no intention of abandoning the transatlantic alliance was well received by European allies in the audience. Exactly one year ago, Vice President J.D. Vance stood at the same podium and sat stone-faced as he…

Sandro Tonali’s sensational double gave Newcastle a dramatic 3-1 victory over 10-man Aston Villa, earning them a place in the FA Cup fifth round.Villa were controversial when Tammy Abraham’s opener was allowed to stand despite VAR not being activated and was clearly offside, but the momentum quickly changed when goalkeeper Marco Bizzotto’s moment of insanity led to a straight red card. In an attempt to stop Newcastle’s counterattack just before half-time, the goalkeeper jumped off his line and brought down Jacob Murphy with a sliding challenge near the halfway line, leaving referee Chris Kavanagh with little choice while the goal…
