He’s Suddenly More Than $5 Million Dollars Richer And Convinced That His Girlfriend Is Nothing But A Gold Digger
A couple of weeks ago, a 29-year-old man unexpectedly came into a whole lot of money. He instantly became $5.5 million richer after he sold shares of a startup that he had.
The startup happens to be in the SEO/digital marketing industry, in case you were curious about that.
Anyway, he has a 26-year-old girlfriend that he has been with for the last 3 years, and now that he’s way richer than he was beforehand, he’s convinced that his girlfriend is nothing but a gold digger.
Before coming into all of this money, it was always important for him to save up and not spend like crazy.
“I have always been frugal with money so I can save for retirement and never be financially insecure and I don’t see why that has to change,” he explained.
“She is now pressuring me to spend money, get a large house for us (we have a nice 2 bedroom apartment), and splurge on gifts.”
“She has said to me “what good is the money if you don’t use it,” and keeps asking why I’m so cheap when I’m just financially sensible.”
So, they really are not on the same page with regards to money here. His girlfriend really expects him to spend a lot, and he’s just not ok with that.
Since he’s become $5.5 million dollars richer, his girlfriend has insisted that they go out to eat on 3 occasions, but she wasn’t ok going somewhere affordable.

Instead, his girlfriend made him take her out to what he says are insanely expensive places, and his girlfriend proceeded to order more than $1,000 of wine for every single dinner.
As the bill came each time, his girlfriend wanted him to pay for it all on his own. Previously in their relationship, they have split every single bill since they each have excellent jobs in the technology space.
“Not only this as soon as she found out about me selling my shares (I kept it all quiet until the end and she didn’t know I was a founder) she basically demanded that we take steps to get married,” he said.
“I avoided the question but it came back today, I said later but only with a prenup, and she went into basically an adult tantrum.”
It’s easy to see why he thinks his girlfriend only cares about his money, and he’s seriously concerned about staying with her.
Of course, it’s tough to throw away a 3-year relationship, but he’s seeing so many red flags that he’s pretty sure it’s time to break up with her.
He’s wondering if it’s time to move on from her and if these red flags are really her true nature. What do you think; does it sound like she’s using him for his money?
