Quarter of couples 'don't know partner's salary'
|
A quarter of people in relationships have no clue about how much their partner earns, a new survey has revealed.
And a fifth know nothing at all about their other half's financial situation.
Nearly 20 per cent keep quiet about money matters until they take a step towards commitment such as buying a property together.
And 14 per cent per cent refuse to tell their partner what they earn until they have a child together.
Even 19 per cent of married people or those living together keep their finances a secret, according to research by pensions giant Scottish Widows.
"Money matters can be a touchy subject," the Daily Express quoted a spokeswoman as saying.
"Some people are loath to tell their partner how much they earn if they feel it may cause imbalances in their relationship," she added.
The research also found that Londoners are the most discreet, with 31 per cent not knowing their partner's salary. But in Yorkshire 81 per cent are honest about finances. (ANI)
