Some relationships are full of secrets and lies. Those secrets often pertain to personal finances. A recent Creditcard.com report found roughly 13 million Americans have a hidden bank account. If you’re being financially unfaithful, it’s only a matter of time before those secrets catch up to you. End your financial infidelity by revealing the financial secrets and re-enter the relationship with trust and truthfulness. Eventually the romantic feelings wear off and the differences between us pile up. “He sees my spending as frivolous; and I see his scrimping as choosing money over my emotional well-being.” Financial infidelity is about the inevitable power struggle we will have over money and the way out of that struggle toward reclaiming the trust and safety we once had.
