'It's my money to give': Couple's plans to save for vacation are upended when girlfriend gives $110 to help coworker

Here's a friendly reminder if you're in a committed relationship: being on the same page about money is kind of important. This Reddit thread just goes to show that if the two of you can't discuss money openly, it's only a matter of time before conflict arises… which is exactly what happened here.

 

Essentially, this couple was saving up money for an upcoming vacation in Florida, and the boyfriend tends to handle all the money because his significant other refuses to discuss it. That's Red Flag #1 right there. When she decided to give $110 to help out a struggling coworker, she was surprised that her boyfriend reacted so aggressively. His reaction was definitely Red Flag #2. In short, this couple seems to be one red flag away from striking out. If they were just able to have an honest conversation with each other about finances to make sure both parties are on the same page, a lot of this could have been avoided.
