21-year-old boyfriend 'accidentally' spends his 19-year-old girlfriend's $50 on a video game, claims it was an honest mistake when she calls him out: 'He said I was making a big deal over nothing'

It's so easy to take funds intended initially for needs and spend them on wants. I would never spend so much on theater tickets for novelty purses that I couldn't afford groceries or rent. Still, sometimes you need the little pleasure that comes from having hilarious hairclips instead of a $7 family-sized box of Cheez-Its. Is a $7 family-sized box of Cheez-Its a need or a want? Who is to say?

While being cavalier with your own money as a high-flying single person is totally above board, it is a different ballgame when you combine your finances with a partner and have a household. In that case, buying 10 $40 Criterion DVDs when they are outside of your budget actually constitutes crossing a line, and I wouldn't put it past someone to consider that a form of infidelity, especially when their partner is mostly spending the money that they earn.

The young lady in this story has not even combined finances with her boyfriend, and he's already taking advantage of her. She gave him $50 for groceries, and he spent it on a video game. Instead of profusely apologizing and paying her back, he told her it was no big deal.
