A recent survey of 2,000 American men found that 49% have kept financial secrets from their spouse or partner. The most common secrets include hidden savings accounts, spending habits, and undisclosed credit cards. Many men cited embarrassment, shame, or uncertainty as reasons for their secrecy. The study, conducted by Talker Research for Men’s Mental Health Month and commissioned by Beyond Finance, highlights a strong link between financial health and mental well-being. Men with poor financial health reported lower mental health scores. Despite this, a significant number of men feel uncomfortable discussing their financial situation with anyone. Experts urge men to seek help and open up about their financial struggles to improve overall well-being. (Talkerresearch)
