/EINPreswire.com/06 FEBRUARY 2012 – DiscountVouchers.co.uk, the voucher codes and retail deals website, has found that more than a quarter of British consumers have no knowledge at all of how much their partner’s salary is.
The money-saving website polled users and found that a huge 27.25% of respondents know nothing of how much money their loved one earns each month. The website also found that 100% more women than men keep private bank accounts.
Furthermore DiscountVouchers.co.uk found that 43% of women lie to partners about their clothing spend. 17% of men said that they have in the past lied about how much they pay for clothing, and DiscountVouchers.co.uk found that guilt was the primary reason behind this.
40% of people admitted to the voucher codes website that they have no problem with opening a partner’s bank statements and credit card correspondence, while almost 10% do not even bother to look at their bank and credit card letters when they arrive.
Psychologist Dr Penny Goldsbrough comments: “We certainly know that there is an intrinsic fear to trusting a partner, and this can in time lead to duplicity – sneaking a look at credit card and banking information and so on. Similarly a fear of a loved one leaving can cause people to create and maintain private bank accounts.”
Dr Goldsbrough continued: “In this instance women tend to mirror their mother’s behaviour, so if she lied to Dad about what she spent on clothing and so on then the daughter is more likely to do this too. People famously have a guilty complex about spending money on themselves as it is seen as ostentatious by some – however spending cash is nonetheless a great therapy in itself.”
