Aside from skipping only romantic young people to avoid wallets – those coupled people feel the pressure to move in together – but not for the reasons you think of.

“Money equals security, security and freedom,” Brie Temple, Tawkify’s CCO and chief matchmaker, told The Post.

“Bringing the ex back is because they’re getting rich, not just a bank account. It’s about wealth symbols: security, ambition, maybe the feeling of “upgrading” since the breakup.”
