OD #14 - If They Do These 4 Things… RUN (Financial Red Flags)
The happiest-looking couples often hide the messiest money fights. We pull back the curtain on the small financial signals that predict big relationship stress, then map the green flags that make building a life together feel calm, fair, and forward-moving.
We start by identifying the four major red flags: secretive spending, a lifestyle that outpaces income, avoidance of basic money conversations, and fundamentally opposing financial goals. Along the way, we explain why these patterns snowball into debt, resentment, and lost time, and how to spot them early without interrogations or awkward dinners. Then we shift into the good news—three practical green flags: partners who discuss money with ease, live within their means, and set realistic goals that show direction and growth. You will hear simple, respectful ways to bring up money while dating, questions that reveal values, and a quick framework for deciding whether to lean in and grow together or step away before it gets costly.
If you want a relationship built on trust, transparency, and shared progress, this is your field guide. Learn how to read the cues around spending, debt, and priorities; how to align timelines for saving, investing, and big purchases; and how to turn money from a source of friction into a team sport. Hit play to get practical scripts, clear examples, and a mindset that favors alignment over aesthetics. If this helped you spot a red or green flag, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review telling us your top non‑negotiable.
