Increasingly Britons Hide Assets from Partners.

Well, it is official - nearly a third of married partners in the U.K. hide financial details from their spouse!

They lie about salary, savings and debts according to recent survey by Carter Allen Bank. This isn't just lying about the cost of a purchase, ( 44% said they'd done that!) No, 10% said they had a secret savings account, and 9% said they had a secret credit card, but - the big news? That's the fact 2% per cent have assets, that they keep secret, That's right, two out of every hundred people hide ASSETS from their partner/spouse, investment properties and other major assets of value.

Now some may bemoan the fact this shows trust between partners is dead, but actually that isn't the case, because if you think about it, the survey shows that 98% of people DO NOT hide Assets from their partners. With divorce affecting approximatley 33% of marriages the fact ONLY 2% hide Assets is the real surprise! Trust isn't dead, and neither is blind optimism despite all the evidence!! Even if it is only 2%, it feels good to be making a difference!
