Ready for Valentine's Day? I just wanted to followup one more time to see if you had any thoughts on our Relationships & Personal Finance Survey.
Can you believe that 32.25% of people would say that honesty about personal finance is more important than honesty about fidelity?
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but my credit report is forever.

Hey Brandee,
Can you believe that 23.08% of high income individuals reported to have a secret credit card or bank account used to spend money?
Would love to get your feedback on our new survey: Relationships & Personal Finance - Survey & Report
We surveyed 800 individuals that are currently married or in a self described "significant relationship." From our own experience, we know that love and finance is a tricky concoction. And in our research, we found that there is a surprising number of hidden bank accounts, secret spending, and stress.
Would you be willing to share the results of our survey with your readers?
Best,

Ahead of Valentine's Day we released a new survey and report: Relationships & Personal Finance - Survey & Report
Ahead of the big holiday, we thought it would be interesting to survey 800 individuals that are currently married or in a self described "significant relationship". In our survey, we asked individuals 20 different questions related to managing finances as a couple. '
Here are the core themes:
- Higher Income Equals Less Stress But More Deception
- Males and Females View Spending and Saving Differently
- Financial Stress Increases After MarriageWhat do you think? We would love for you to review our full survey and report. I am happy to answer any questions related to methodology or data.
Best,
