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.
