Bridging the gap between saving money and investing
Have you ever wondered about other’s money secrets? This is part of a series of money confessions I gathered from audience members I spoke to last month. Everyone has money secrets and I thought it would be interesting to share some of them here. This is number 6 in the series:

hahaha, see this is funny. I did the opposite. Before I got married, I used to take dates to really inexpensive, but cool places. JUST to see if this girl was a money grubbing *insert expletive of choice*
This was a great way to see if I would be getting a second date. If they weren’t interested it was either because money was on their mind or:
• I was too boring
• I was too ugly
• I wasn’t funny enough
• My nails weren’t clean
• My teeth weren’t white enough
• I didn’t drive a nice enough car
Blah blah blah, Im an ok guy 
Most of the times a girl wouldn’t have a clue I had money until they saw my house or they saw what was in my garage.
Don’t worry about it. I only date you for your looks 
I only pretended to have money so you would sleep with me
If I get the sense that a guy is trying to impress me with his money, I run the other way. I once dumped a guy (partly) because he drove a Mercedes convertible.
Besides, who knows how much debt someone has? Often the more they own, the more the owe.

I’m not proud of it, but when I was younger I did basically the same thing. I would go to a restaurant and order the most expensive meal on the menu and then not touch it. If the man made any comment about me not eating it, then I knew he didn’t have enough money. I embarrassed about it still today.
