TikTok Memes Have You Searching For A 'Trust Fund, 6'5, Blue-Eyed' Partner? Don't Be Fooled! Here Are 5 Financial Green Flags To Look For

"Looking For A Man in Finance. Trust Fund. 6’5″. Blue Eyes." 

When TikTok Girl on Couch uploaded a video of herself performing these satirical lines, she didn't know just how much of a sensation it would become. 

Now a viral meme, the song has got everyone searching for a 6'5" man in finance with blue eyes and a trust fund. But is that really enough for someone to qualify as a desirable partner?

Financial compatibility is crucial for a healthy relationship. We've got a checklist to help you spot your new partner's financial green flags. 

They Have A Stable Income

Maybe your new partner has a job, maybe they're a freelancer. As long as they have a stable income, you know they are serious about money. If they're always "in between things" and show no sign of searching for new opportunities, you should probably start searching for the exit door. 

They Spend Responsibly

Are they always grabbing takeout even when there's food at home? Do they make big purchases without doing any research? If so, you've landed yourself an irresponsible spender. A reliable partner should be practical, considerate and smart with their spending. 

They're Open And Honest About Finances

Healthy relationships thrive on open communication, especially regarding money matters. Look for a partner who is willing to discuss financial goals, concerns, and plans openly and honestly. This is especially important if you're getting married. The last thing you want is to find out your new spouse has a lot of debt you knew nothing about.

They're Financially Independent

While it’s natural to support each other in a relationship, it’s essential for both partners to maintain a degree of financial independence. Look for a partner who can take care of themselves and also contribute equally to shared expenses and financial goals.

Their Long-Term Financial Goals Align With Yours

You want to save money to buy a villa in the suburbs. Your partner wants to spend all their savings to go backpacking through Eastern Europe. If this seems familiar, you've hit a wall. A suitable partner is one whose long-term financial goals are compatible with yours. Make sure you're on the same page before signing up for the long haul.
