AAR71 - Are You a Financial Green Flag or Red Flag?
Tuesday, 13 October, 2026
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.
