TIME’s new weekly roundup brings you the best and most surprising things happening on Reddit:

The Absolute Worst Financial Decisions

Redditors got down to sharing their own worst financial decisions and ill-advised spending moves made by others in response to this conversation-starting question: What screams “I make terrible financial decisions!”?

Word to the wise: steer clear of 24-carat gold-plated playing cards, too many luxury shopping trips, endless video game loot boxes, and bankrolling your significant other’s life after they get laid off (especially if they’re about to dump you).

A Reddit proposal.

Over in the wedding planning subreddit, user cjfb62 shared that she met “the one” in a Reddit chat room. She told the community: “We have a lot of mutual friends from Reddit so it’s not a secret. But we met in person at a bar trivia event so I also say that sometimes. So many people meet on the Internet these days!”

Love on Reddit is trending pretty hard this week. Young adult author John Green fulfilled a fan’s bold request to help him pop the question during his AMA.
