In a world full of red flags waving like parade banners, let’s switch gears. Let’s talk about something grown, healthy, and refreshing: financial green flags.
Yes! The signs someone is actually stable, self-aware, and ready to BUILD with you, not drain you.
Because when you’re dating with intention—and legacy—the question isn’t “Do they like me?”
It’s “Can we build something real together?”
Here are the “GREEN” flags that matter:
1. They Communicate About Money Without Shame or Flexing
A grown adult can talk about bills, goals, credit, debt, and discipline. They can discuss these topics calmly and confidently, without turning it into a performance or a panic attack.
Green flag energy:
Honest → Calm → Transparent.
2. They Make Realistic Plans, Not Fantasy Plans
A person who’s ready for real life doesn’t sell dreams.
They talk goals, timelines, budgets, and actual action steps.
Because love is cute… But execution is sexier.
3. They Don’t Get Jealous of Your Ambition
A financially grounded person will never compete with you; they grow with you.
If you say, “I’m improving my credit,” they say, “Let’s do it together,” not “Why?”
Teamwork is a green flag.
4. They’re Responsible With What They DO Have
You don’t need a partner who’s rich; you need one who’s responsible.
Paying bills on time, maintaining stability, and handling emergencies show maturity, not income.
Consistency > Cash.
5. They Respect Your Financial Boundaries
You don’t have to explain 5 times or argue 10 times.
A person who respects your boundaries shows they’re emotionally AND financially stable enough for partnership.
Final Word from Coach Moore
When you date with intention, you stop choosing people for the moment. You start choosing people who can stand beside you for the future.
Whether you’re a man or a woman, if your heart AND your money feel safe…
That’s a green flag waving.
Now go build smart.
The legacy starts with you.
