reckless spender

Fiscally irresponsible person

A reckless spender is someone who spends money carelessly, without regard for consequences or financial limits.

The phrase implies impulsivity and poor judgment rather than mere generosity or high income: Her ex-husband was a reckless spender who maxed out three credit cards.

The spending is reckless because it risks financial harm.
