1 out of 10 Divorcees Blame Secret Credit Card Spending
According to a recent study of 1,000 recent divorcees, one out of 10 cited secret credit card spending as a factor in their decision to end their marriage.
On one level, we do not find this surprising. As Florida divorce lawyers, we have helped many people leave unhealthy or unsatisfying marriages, and often, money is cited as a reason for tension, unhappiness and conflict.
Even so, the study does present some interesting information that we wanted to explore:
Among those surveyed, women were 60 percent more likely than men to admit to hiding credit card charges, but it was actually men who spend more in hidden purchases. This speaks to the different attitudes the respective sexes may have about what kind of expenses need to be discussed and approve by both partners.
Some 36 percent of the people polled said they kept their credit card spending secret because they were afraid their spouse would get angry.
Another 35 percent of respondents said they were not forthcoming because they thought their spouse might disapprove and they would feel ashamed and embarrassed.
This study builds on a body of evidence that illustrates the deleterious effect arguing about money can have on a marriage. For example, a 2013 University of Kansas study found that disagreeing about money is the leading indicator of divorce.
If you are thinking about ending your marriage, either because of disagreements over money or any other source of friction, you may want to speak to a Clearwater divorce attorney. We are looking forward to helping you with your situation.
