#10: Financial Abuse can be hard to identify and is present in nearly 99% of total domestic violence cases.

What financial red flags do I look for in romantic relationships? How do I know if I am experiencing financial abuse?

Today Justine De Peralta, Author of ‘Girl, Jump: Building a Financial Safety Net to Leave an Abusive Relationship and Reclaim Your Freedom’ and I chat about some financial red flags to look out for.

Key Takeaways:

1. If something doesn't feel right when it comes to money in your relationship, explore that feeling. You are more capable than you know.
2. Financial Abuse is a spectrum. It can be total dependence on your partner. It can be your partner sabotaging your work. It can be your partner griping at every single purchase you make or being sneaky about their money. Listen to the signs your body gives you. Then, find your next right step.
3. Justine shares 3 general tips one could take to have more autonomy of their money. For a personalized safety exit plan, visit the resources linked below.
