Almost one-quarter of spouses aren’t honest with each other about purchases, according to the Money survey. And they’re holding back to avoid a fight. Indeed, one in five Americans have spent $500 or more on something without telling their spouse, according to CreditCards.com. Money recommends that spouses defuse the secretive shopping issue by allowing each a certain amount of “play” money that can be spent with no questions asked.
