A survey found that almost 40% of those in couples have money their partners don’t know about. Many individuals hide money as a precaution in case their relationship breaks down.
‘I don’t find a need to share’ ‘I have a savings account that my husband knows nothing about – it has around £7,000 in it,’ admits 32-year-old Rebecca, from Bedfordshire. ‘This sordid secret started around seven years ago, when we were buying our first flat together. We were discussing what money we had to bring to the table and I… just didn’t mention it.’ Rebecca isn’t alone either. A survey this year found that almost 40% of those in couples have money their partners don’t know about.
In one sense I get it, but the other part of me feels we shouldn’t need to hide money from our partner if we’re “in” the relationship for the long-haul.’ But this isn’t something felt by 29-year-old Anastasia, who actively chooses to keep some finances secret from her husband. ‘It started as my “f*** off fund”’ The therapist, from London, says: ‘I will say there are definitely savings he is aware of, as they are for future financial decisions that will impact both of us.
