Poll: Is It Okay To Keep Money A Secret From Your Significant Other?
Posted by: Catherine 5:15PM, Monday April 27th 2009 Filed in: RelationshipsPolls
Nazita Aminpour is suing Chase bank for telling her husband about her secret individual bank account with $800,000 in it. Aminpour had a joint account with husband David Shamash at Chase but kept her individual account a secret. Shamash found out about her secret account when a Chase employee cold-called to suggest he take his money out of that account and invest it in a different way. According to the suit Aminpour filed, Shamash started harassing her until she gave him $155,000 to invest in the stock market and to cover a margin call he had on his stock account. Aminpour says Chase violated non-disclosure laws and is asking the bank to pay her $155,000 plus legal fees. It seems pretty crazy that a woman would keep that much money a secret from her husband, but the bank had no business telling him about it. Do you think it’s OK for husbands and wives to keep secret money stashes from their significant others? [NY Post via Jezebel]
Is It Okay To Keep Money A Secret From Your Significant Other?
Yes. Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you have to share everything, especially if the other person can't handle money very well.
No. Whatever you have should be theirs, and vice-versa.
Maybe. It totally depends on the circumstances.
