- They “forget” to pay their bills—but they always remember your wallet
When it comes time to pay for things, they’re always “broke”—but they magically remember to spend on themselves!
- Gifts? They’d rather “gift” you money instead
Instead of thoughtful surprises, they only have one gift in mind: your bank account.

Their affection seems to grow with every dollar you “generously” give. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

Suddenly, dinner turns into an expensive affair, and you don’t even think about saving on the bill—they’ll make it awkward.

Success? Oh, it’s a shared triumph… but only when they’re the beneficiaries of it.
- You find yourself funding their lifestyle
They’ve somehow turned your resources into their own personal “welfare fund.”

You’ll hear phrases like, “I’ll pay you back… someday,” but don’t expect that day to ever come.

No one else seems to understand their financial “crisis”, but you’re always the one they turn to for help.

- They make you feel guilty and push you to spend
Do you ever feel like they’re emotionally dragging you to the cash register? That’s a big red flag!
- Your needs? They’re not interested—unless they’re money-related
When you need something, they’re nowhere to be found, but when they want something financial, they’re all ears.
- They compare your lifestyle to others’ to make you feel “inadequate”
Their goal: to make you feel inadequate about your financial situation, so you’ll be more willing to support theirs.
- They use “we” when it’s time to spend, but “you” when it’s time to pay
They care about making a collective effort when it comes to your money.

It’s like they don’t even know you have financial dreams—unless they’re tied to your money.
- They “forget” to contribute to shared expenses
When it comes time to split the bills, they suddenly have a selective memory.

They can’t wait to offer emotional support, but when it comes to money? Silence.
- They Have a “Secret Fund” for Their Own Pleasure
You may just find a hidden stash of money… but it’s all for their own personal pleasure.
- They Turn Your Generosity into Their Expectations
What was once a given becomes their “right,” and they’ll demand more without hesitation.
- They Can’t Stop Talking About Your Money—Even When It’s Not Relevant
Somehow, your money is always part of the conversation—even when it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
The Bottom Line
When narcissists set their sights on your wallet instead of your heart, it’s time to take action. Recognizing these red flags can save you from heartbreak and financial ruin in the future. Remember: You are worthy of love, not just as a source of income. Hold on tight, protect your peace, and know that your money should never define your relationships. Love yourself first, because you are priceless. ❤️💪
