Poles Hide Spending from Partners, Survey Finds
A Goldman Sachs TFI survey reveals that 65 percent of Poles have hidden spending from their partners at least once. The most common tactics include understating prices, concealing purchases, or pretending items were freebies.
Men (54 percent) are slightly more likely than women (50 percent) to claim they paid less. As many as 45 percent of respondents admitted to hiding purchases, with 6 percent of men and 4 percent of women doing so regularly. Women often hide clothing and cosmetics, while men conceal electronics and hobby-related items.
Around 23 percent of women and 28 percent of men have falsely claimed that a purchased item was free. The study highlights that financial dishonesty affects relationships, with frequent deception correlating to lower satisfaction levels.
