His Girlfriend Spent $8,000 On Clothes And Makeup, Even Though She’s Unemployed
For the last two years, this 27-year-old man has been dating his 25-year-old girlfriend. Earlier this year, in February, his girlfriend got laid off and has not found a new job since then.
He has tried his best to be sympathetic, as he knows the economy isn’t the easiest on anyone right now.
Before his girlfriend got laid off, she had a job with a wonderful company, and she made a good bit of money.
“She had a lot of savings and was good with money,” he explained. “She majored in communications, but her job pool right now is very limited.”
“I work in cyber security, so I’ve had a steady job this entire time. I have never supported her financially, and we live separately and in different cities.”
“However, I will pay for dates or groceries if we cook together. She has never asked for money, and she told me her parents are not supporting her.”
His girlfriend has always been into fashion and has quite a collection of clothes and makeup as well.
Yesterday, he noticed that his girlfriend was wearing a brand-new, very pricey winter coat, so he questioned her about where she got it.
His girlfriend admitted to him that she had just spent $1,000 on a bunch of clothes, which really shocked him.

“I pushed further why she would spend so much money on clothes when she hasn’t had a job in over 9 months,” he continued.
“She said that she was ashamed of how much money she spent. I asked specifically how much in total, and she said well over 8k this year. How do I proceed with this information?”
“She still pays rent and lives in a nice condo, granted rent isn’t too expensive since she lives in the suburbs. But I don’t understand how she is surviving just off savings for over 9 months plus buying so many clothes and material things.”
He asked his girlfriend if her family or anyone else was helping her out financially, and she said no.
He just can’t get over the fact that his girlfriend has spent so much money on essentially nothing, and he’s thinking this is a red flag.
