10 Financial Signs He’s Cheating

Let me start by prefacing this article by saying that I do not advocate cheating on your spouse or significant other. I believe wholeheartedly in a monogomous relationship, however, unfortunately there are women (and men) that find themselves on the other side shocked that this happened to them. Here are a few signs that may send up a red flag. Each of these by themselves may not mean anything, but it’s good to be aware of the financial warning signs of cheating.
- An unusual increase of ATM withdrawals and/or credit card cash advances.
- Failure to mention overtime, bonuses, or an increase in pay.
- Unusual purchases to places such as flower shops, jewelry stores, women’s clothing stores, etc.
- An increase in cell phone minutes used, possibly going over the monthly limit.
- A liquidation of assets such as IRAs, saving accounts, money market accounts, etc.
- Avoidance of discussing money issues, the family budget, and spending habits.
- An increase in spending for things such as gasoline, eating out, clothing, and hygiene products.
- A decrease in the amount deposited from his paycheck.
- Running out of money before the next payday.
- Salary discrepencies on the W-2. This goes along with the issue of money earned versus the overtime he claimed he was working. Also, look for unexplained business travel expenses.
