Financial Red Flags
Twelve money-related reasons to end things with the person you’re talking to.
1. Doesn’t save; defends this dangerous lifestyle with expressions like “You only live once” and “Money is meant to be spent.”
2. Doesn’t run a business but is always selling things; you might be next.
3. Can’t differentiate between nice-to-haves and must-haves; there’s a TV in their bathroom but soap and toilet paper are lacking.
4. Believes in spending to impress; will take a loan to throw a party.
5. Has priorities mixed up; must buy “the latest” things even when the purchases can’t be rationalised.
6. Overspends on eating out; thinks cooking anything is a menial job for the less privileged.
7. Can’t stop bragging about things they own; do you want to date an adult or a toddler with toys?
8. Doesn’t care about insurance; lol, you’re in danger.
9. Has overdue loans without a repayment plan; you’ll both be embarrassed by debt collectors eventually.
10. Puts all their money in crypto; bullish or just foolish?
11. Doesn’t believe in giving without getting something in return; clearly clueless about the benefits of generosity.
12. Has unexplainable income; okay, you need to end things now.
