I like to take photos as a hobby, I occasionally do senior photos and stuff like that but nothing serious. I currently use a Canon Rebel XTI that I have had for at least 10 years. I really want to upgrade to a mirrorless camera and one that is able to take videos but I am on a budget. I started looking around and found a Canon M50 for $500 that came with a lot of accessories. Is it worth making the jump?
I just realized my partner has spent over $1300 on DoorDash in the last 2 months and I don’t know what to think.
I got a free year of DoorDash premium, and I don’t really use delivery apps because I can drive, so the extra cost just isn’t worth it to me. My partner can’t drive though, so I offered to let them use my account. I even asked if they wanted their own profile so I wouldn’t see what they were ordering/spending, but they said it was fine.
Since it’s my account, I get notifications every time they order. I noticed it was pretty frequent, but didn’t think much of it until yesterday when I accidentally clicked on one of the notifications and saw all the receipts. It added up to over $1300 in just 2 months.
I’m not amazing with money myself, but that number genuinely stressed me out. We don’t live together and our finances aren’t tied at all, so I know it’s technically none of my business, which makes me feel weird for even caring this much. But at the same time, it feels like a lot.
What’s also stressing me out is that they’re about to go through a big life change and they don’t have any savings. I’ve suggested before that they at least open a savings account, but they always said they didn’t make enough money to save. The thing is, I know roughly what they make, and this amount is more than double that, and that’s just DoorDash, not including anything else.
Now I’m stuck feeling uneasy and also confused about where the money is even coming from. I don’t want to overstep or come off controlling, but it’s hard to ignore.
How would you bring this up in a way that’s respectful but still addresses the concern? Or just drop it and not say anything?
