Do you ever lie or keep secrets from your spouse, especially about money? Well you are not alone in this.
Yahoo! Finance has gathered a list of the most common lies that people resort to.
The first point in the list is that married couples involved in extramarital affairs, spend more on their lovers that their better halves.
Couples with joint finances have a bank account they keep hidden from their partner, purchase things which they keep secret, or mislead them about the cost.
Many people hide their real salary, including bonus checks or extra pay from a side job, and are even ready to marry a below average guy or gal for money.
Another point to be noted is that some men like the fact that they earn more than there wife, while some ladies hate being the only breadwinner in the family.
And, some couples have claimed that they would rather have their spouse cheat on them than lie about money.
