Secret cash stash

[GardenGirl]

Prompted by a thread on divorce, how many of you have money put away that your partner doesn't know about, and more crucially, why?

Am I the only naive one who doesn't have a secret stash?

Poll to follow.

No we keep our money together. I Think it raises a question of trust if you don't which isn't a good start for a lasting relationship.

So far, apparently you're not one of the cynical mob whose marriages are doomed from the outset.

It's very easy for me. If we separate, she gets everything.

OK but if you know you're pretty much headed for a divorce, can't you just walk into a bank and take out a shedload of cash and then hide it somewhere?

Then you go to divorce court, she alleges that you must have more money than you claim, the court orders up your details from the banks and sees this withdrawal, so it includes that amount in your wealth. Hope you haven't spent it.

That’s how it usually works. I paid for everything so she gets to keep it all.
