JaNa Craig Talks Dating and Credit on You Are My Credit

We are all looking for “the one.” But looking for your “credit person” (lover + someone with good credit habits)? Now things get complicated. Just ask Jana how her search for the perfect “credit” is going.

That’s the interesting premise behind it You are my credita new reality-inspired digital series credit one bank Blending dating show drama with real conversations about credit habits. The social-first series, with new episodes every Thursday, invites viewers to think about relationships in a slightly different way: through the lens of credit.

Craig made a special stop US Weekly Talk about this project, why credit responsibility is high on her list of dating priorities, and the credit habits that make someone instantly more attractive.

“When I first heard about the concept, I immediately said yes,” Craig told me. us. “It does relate to my life. I do like someone who has good credibility, so it feels like they’re making up a story about me.”

While reality dating shows often focus on romance and drama, You are my credit Put credit compatibility front and center. For Craig, this conversation has always been important.

“That’s always been my priority,” she explains. “I love that this is the main focus of the series.”

The show also aims to highlight understanding how credit plays a bigger role in life than people think. Craig said she hopes viewers will gain a better understanding of how credit habits affect everything from large purchases to long-term plans.

“A good credit score is good for many things — renting, buying a house, buying a car, even starting a business,” she said. “It’s more important than people realize.”

Her biggest piece of advice? Don’t miss a payment!

“I want people to know how important it is to never miss a payment because it can stay on your credit report for up to seven years,” Craig said. “Thankfully I didn’t, but I saw how easily people could fall behind.”

Of course, money conversations can be tricky in relationships—especially early on. While Craig admits she may have broached the topic earlier than most, she advises others to take a slightly more cautious approach.

“I’m not normal,” she joked. “I’d probably ask right away. But for most people, you should build a relationship first and then focus on someone’s finances.”

Still, she doesn’t shy away from what she sees as green flags.

“It makes a man look, dress and carry himself attractively,” says Craig. “But it makes the way he handles the credit line more attractive.”

So what exactly is Craig’s ideal financial match?

Someone who uses credit responsibly, keeps balances under 30% of the limit, makes automatic payments and maintains healthy savings.

“Diversify your wallet and don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” she says. “And make sure you have a nice nest egg saved for yourself…and maybe a little saved for me.”

Ultimately, Craig hopes this series shows that credit education doesn’t have to be scary.

“Don’t prioritize your credit so seriously,” she says. “It can be lighthearted and fun, but it should definitely be a priority for you.”
