AAR71 - Are You a Financial Green Flag or Red Flag?13. Okt.56 Min.

Evan and Andrew take the viral red-flag/green-flag dating game and turn it on your wallet. Eleven money habits get judged — streaming subscriptions, credit card debt, eating out, beat-up cars, family loans, car leases, prenups, paying cash, 5-star hotels, and splitting bills with a partner. Some verdicts are obvious. A few of them got surprisingly deep.

What You Will Learn

Why subscribing to every streaming service is a red flag — and the rotate-and-cancel fix

The brutal math on funding retirement while carrying credit card debt

The leftovers hack that effectively halves your eating-out bill

When a beat-up car on a $100K salary is a green flag (and when "car dandruff" flips it red)

Why leasing is usually a losing game — and the iPhone lease that made Evan snap

The right way to split bills when partners earn very different incomes (plus the app built for it)

Why "faithful in small things" predicts your entire financial life
