Do you hide money from your spouse?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 29 Nov 07

I hate to admit that I do hide money from my spouse. But, I guess that's better than hiding bills. He doesn't really spend lots of money, except at the grocery store. But, I worry that if all our paychecks were so readily...
