Do you keep a secret stash of money that your partner doesn’t know about? Not necessarily for anything sinister but just as a personal safety net.

Some say it’s smart to have financial independence, while others believe it’s dishonest in a committed relationship. What do you think, sensible or sneaky?

I have my own savings but I don't hide it. We both pay in to the joint account for shared costs, everything else is our own.
