Your partner has more than one, two, three, four…bank accounts: ATM’s are a source of major convenience, but they can also be a telltale sign of financial ineptitude if your date is frequently using them to transfer money between accounts. According to love expert, Guy Lockard a person who can’t oversee his or her expenses from one account may be irresponsible, undisciplined or downright corrupt. “Someone who is posturing their money may not have it all together and are trying to hide or repurpose their money,” he says. “They may do it to control excessive spending habits.” Of course, the worst-case scenario is if the funds they are transferring don’t even belong to them. “They may even have access to someone else’s account or their job expense account and you don’t want to get caught up in that,” he adds.
