Some people are naturally thrifty, and according to astrological observations, men born under certain zodiac signs tend to be more careful, or even stingy, when it comes to money. Here are five zodiac signs known for being cautious with their spending and not likely to shower their partners with gifts.
1. Capricorn
If you’re looking for a man who can provide a stable and financially secure future, a Capricorn might seem like the perfect match. Capricorns are known for their authority, success, and embodiment of stability. However, there’s a downside.
From the moment you’re with a Capricorn, every penny spent will be carefully monitored. Capricorns live by the motto, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Unfortunately, they tend to be frugal not only with themselves but also with their loved ones. Expect to defend every purchase and negotiate the family budget frequently, as Capricorn men firmly believe in their financial prowess and will often lecture you on smart spending.
2. Pisces
At first glance, Pisces men seem like the epitome of romance, generosity, and tenderness. They may shower their partner with compliments, gifts, and a fairy-tale atmosphere, leading you to believe you’ve met your prince charming.
However, as time goes on, their generosity can wane. When financial difficulties or limitations arise, Pisces may begin to recall all the “unnecessary” expenses spent on or by you. They tend to keep a mental record of their spending and may hold it against you when times are tough. Since Pisces is an emotionally unstable sign, these situations might occur repeatedly.
3. Virgo
Ruled by Mercury, the god of trade and finance, Virgo men are masters of calculation and thriftiness. While they don’t skimp on spending money on themselves, they often question the validity of spending money on others. For them, spending on someone else feels almost like a crime.
A date with a Virgo man is unlikely to include romantic dinners in upscale restaurants. Instead, think budget cafes, fast food, or a picnic in the park. Gifts? Forget about it. At best, you’ll receive a book on financial literacy or a practical gadget purchased on sale.
If you envision a life with a Virgo, be prepared for separate finances—one wallet for his needs, and your wallet, which may even be used to help him when his financial ventures go awry.
4. Scorpio
Scorpio men often complain about women being materialistic. If you’ve ever heard a man grumble about paying for coffee, flowers, or covering a taxi, it’s likely a Scorpio.
In relationships, they’ll sting you with financial complaints. Never borrow from a Scorpio, even a small amount—they’ll continuously remind you about it. Spontaneous purchases or romantic surprises? Forget it. Scorpios will monitor every penny and suspect you of trying to live off their money.
5. Cancer
Cancer men are traditionally considered homebodies and caretakers, but not when it comes to sharing their finances.
If Cancer has spare cash, they’ll likely share it with you, but only if it doesn’t interfere with their bigger plans, like a luxury vacation or buying a new car. They might even lament how tight their budget is. And whatever they do for you, they’ll expect gratitude in return. While Cancer men can be resourceful and capable of earning big money, sharing it with their partner is a different story.
In relationships, these signs often demonstrate a careful or even miserly approach to money, which can lead to frustration for partners seeking more generosity. If you find yourself with one of these men, patience and understanding of their financial nature will be crucial.
