Financial Red Flags in Dating + The Money Conversations You NEED to Have (Feat. Whitney Hansen)

Money impacts far more than just our bank accounts—it plays a central role in who we date, our relationship dynamics, and how safe we feel in our own lives. In this episode of You Will Be OK, I’m joined by personal finance coach Whitney Hansen to break down the intersection of money, mindset, and relationships. We dive into how childhood experiences shape your money story, the financial red flags to watch for when dating, and how to navigate saver vs. spender dynamics without ruining your relationship. Whitney also shares why financial compatibility isn't about finding someone with a specific salary, but rather aligning on mindset, habits, and values. In this episode, we cover: - How childhood experiences and financial trauma shape your adult mindset - Crucial financial red flags to look for while dating - How to evaluate a partner’s debt and financial habits logically - Essential money conversations every couple needs to have - Saver vs. spender dynamics, prenups, and joint vs. separate finances in marriage - Why financial literacy and independence are non-negotiable for women - Practical first steps toward building wealth and unlearning financial anxiety Whether you are single, dating, married, working through debt, or ready to build real wealth, this conversation will transform the way you view money and relationships.
