And younger adults were much more likely than older adults to see financial secrets as grounds for a divorce. Nearly 49 percent of adults ages 25 to 34 an... |
Survey Question: Would you consider divorcing your current or future spouse over issues with financial secrecy? |
It’s important to be transparent about finances to maintain a healthy relationship. But some people do keep money secrets from their significant other. They might lie about their spending habits or how much debt they have. They might hide a low credit score, gambling habits, bankruptcy or any negative financial informa... |
Keeping any money matters under wraps can hurt a relationship. In fact, a separate GOBankingRates’ survey found that being secretive about finances is the biggest relationship deal breaker. |
Most Americans claim to be honest with their partners about money matters. The survey found that 78 percent of respondents said they have not lied to either their current or ex-partner about their finances. |
Among the 22 percent who have lied, the most common thing they don’t come clean with their partner about is their spending habits. About 10 percent of respondents said they’ve lied about this. It’s not surprising that people don’t want to admit how much they spend because another GOBankingRates survey found that one of... |
The second most common thing Americans have lied to their partners about — with just over 8 percent choosing this response — is their debt. Having too much debt can actually be a turnoff, according to the same GOBankingRates survey. |
Among the other things, the survey found that Americans have lied to their partners about is their salary, savings, investments, credit score and gambling habits. |
Although the majority of both men and women said they haven’t lied to their partner about money, men are more likely to be honest. The survey found that 80 percent of men said they haven’t lied compared with almost 77 percent of women. |
Women are actually much more likely to have lied about their spending habits than men are. The survey found that 13 percent of women haven’t told the truth to their partner about their spending compared with almost 6 percent of men. Women also are more likely to lie about their debt. However, a higher percentage of men... |
Not only do most Americans say that they don’t lie to their partners about money, but they also believe that their partners don’t lie to them. |
The survey found that about 76 percent of respondents believe that their current or ex-partner has never told money lies to them or kept financial secrets. |
Another nearly 11 percent said their partner has lied about how much money they’ve saved. Almost 10 percent said their partner has stolen money from them or used their credit or debit card without asking. If you suspect financial infidelity, there are several signs your significant other is lying about money. These sec... |
The survey found that women are more likely than men to say their partner has lied to them about money. About 28 percent of women said their current or ex-partner hasn’t been honest about their finances compared with about 19 percent of men. |
The top lie women said they’ve been told is about how much of their money their partner has spent, with 16 percent of respondents choosing this response. On the other hand, only 10 percent of men said their partner has lied about how much of their money they have spent. |
The second most common lie women said they’ve been told is about how much money their partner has saved. However, the second most common lie men said they’ve been told by a partner is about how much debt they have. |
The GOBankingRates’ survey found that a majority of Americans said they know basic information about their partner’s finances. But that doesn’t mean they know everything. In fact, their partners could be keeping financial secrets from them. |
There are several telltale signs that one partner might be hiding things from the other. For example, if your partner insists on keeping separate bank accounts and doesn’t want to share any financial details, it could be a red flag. Letters from collection agencies could be a sign that your partner is deep in debt and ... |
Changes in spending habits could mean your spouse isn’t being open about his or her financial situation. Lots of new purchases could mean your spouse is relying on credit to fuel spending sprees — or spending money you’ve set aside for other goals. On the flip side, a sudden reluctance to spend might indicate that thei... |
Keeping financial secrets can sabotage a relationship and lead to a costly divorce. That’s why it is important for couples to talk openly about their finances. |
For starters, you should discuss your values to agree on what you want most in life. Then you can review your spending every month to see if it aligns with your values. You might find that one or both of you is spending money on things that don’t really matter to you as a couple. Once you’ve figured out your values and... |
By regularly reviewing your finances together, it will help prevent financial secrecy. To give each of you some autonomy, though, you can agree to have a certain amount each of you can spend each month with no questions asked. Working some “fun money” into the budget might help prevent the urge to keep financial secret... |
If you do think your spouse is lying about money, don’t ignore your suspicions. You need to address your concerns with your spouse. If you’re guilty of keeping secrets, you need to come clean. If necessary, reach out to a counselor for help facilitating this conversation. |

Middle Eastern and black drivers — particularly young men — were far more likely to be stopped by Ottawa police than other drivers, according to a report analyzing two years of traffic stops. |
A York University research team examined 81,902 traffic stops involving Ottawa residents from 2013 to 2015 where officers recorded their perception of the driver's race, as well as their gender, age range, the reason for the stop and whether the stop resulted in charges. |
The researchers found that police stopped drivers perceived to be Middle Eastern 10,066 times, or 12.3 per cent of the total stops. |
However, these drivers represent less than four percent of the total driving population in Ottawa, meaning Middle Eastern drivers were stopped about 3.3 times more than what you would expect based on the population. |
Similarly, drivers police identified as black were stopped 7,238 times, or 8.8 per cent of the time. This was about 2.3 times more than you would expect based on the population in Ottawa. |
The disparities were more pronounced when looking just at young men. Middle Eastern men between the ages of 16 to 24 were 12 times more likely to be stopped, and young black men were 8.3 times more likely to be stopped. Young men police identified as white were stopped 1.7 times more than their population would suggest... |
Officers reported perceiving the race of the driver prior to the decision to pull over the vehicle in 11.4 per cent of the stops. But researcher Lesley Jacobs said whether the officer could identity the race of driver before pulling them over was not that important to how the data was treated. |
Researchers Lorne Foster and Jacobs stressed the data is not necessarily indicative of causation, and it doesn't prove racial profiling. |
"We've always conceived it as being a big picture study," said Foster. |
"If you think of it in terms of a medical metaphor, what we've done is really have an ultrasound of the city, and you see that there might be potential problems," he said. "If you go to the doctor and you get an ultrasound and you see that there's a spot on your lungs, they'll want to actually examine things further to... |
The reason for the vast majority of the traffic stops — 97.19 per cent — involved "provincial and municipal offences," and no particular group was stopped in a disproportional manner, the report found. |
However in the 2,299 cases where police pulled motorists over for "suspicious activities" or "criminal offences, a disproportionate number involved racialized minorities. |
As far as outcomes, most stops ended in charges (44.65 per cent) or warnings (41.29 per cent) and race didn't seem to have an impact in whether the driver had either of those two outcomes. |
But Indigenous, black and Middle Eastern drivers — as well as other "racialized minorities" — were more likely to have a "no action" outcome. |
The project was part of a settlement in the case of Chad Aiken, who was 18 in 2005 when he was pulled over in Ottawa while driving his mother's Mercedes Benz.

Aiken said he was taunted and punched in the chest by an Ottawa officer in what he called a case of racial profiling. |
In June 2013, Ottawa officers started recording "their perception of driver race using the existing in-car computer system" during traffic stops, according to the police force. |
Foster said they recommend police determine the sources for the disproportionality noted in the report, and that race data collection continue and be made publicly available. |
Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau says racial profiling has no place in society or policing. (CBC News)Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said racial profiling "can exist in society and it can exist in policing" but "has no place in either." |
He thanked the Ottawa police officers who he says took the collection of the data seriously and "showed their professionalism." |
He noted the report did not find evidence of racial profiling, but rather gave police the data to study whether there are any underlying reasons for the variations in stops between different racial groups. |
Ihsaan Gardee, the executive director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, however, said the findings are "very concerning" and warrant further study. |
"I think it has posed more questions than it's actually answered," said Gardee. |
Ottawa Police Services Board chair Eli El-Chantiry said the board will carefully examine the findings and discuss them with Bordeleau to develop a multi-year plan in the next six months. |

RATHER THAN the attitude of voters, festivals are giving sleepless nights to election managers of various political parties before the civic polls. |
A Congress delegation led by UPCC vice-president Satyadev Tripathi met additional election commissioner Vinay Priya Dubey and joint election commissioner PC Gupta. The delegation submitted a memorandum, urging the State Election Commission officials to change the election dates. |
The Congress leaders said workers were celebrating festivals and had adopted a lackadaisical attitude towards the election campaign. In such a situation, the party would suffer, they said. Candidates would face problems in mobilising the voters, they added. |
The election should be rescheduled to another date after Ramzan was over, the leaders said. |
Bharatiya Janata Party leaders visited the State Election Commission office with the same request. The BJP leaders said voters were showing little interest in their campaign due to festivals. |
“We wish to inform the voters about our achievements and the development projects launched in the city by our mayor, but voters are not ready to listen,” they said. |
Members of various social and political organisations visited the SEC office with the same plea. |
They told SEC officials that the election campaign was proving an expensive affair as the candidates had to distribute sweet and fruits to voters during festivals. Muslim candidates said they had to invite a large number of voters to Iftar parties. |
“Please postpone the elections, or else we will go bankrupt organising feasts for voters,” pleaded another candidate. Members of a social organisation urged SEC officials to hold the October 31 election on another date. The death anniversary of Sardar Patel would be observed on October 31, they said. |
The SEC officials said the notification on the urban local bodies election and the dates were fixed on the direction of the Allahabad High Court and the State Government. Since holding the election was the constitutional responsibility of the State Election Commission, the election could not be postponed, they said. |
