You'd never want to outright lie to your spouse about your spending, but if a little fudging may help avoid a fight, what's the harm? Or so you figure.
Some 80% of all married people hide some purchases from their mates, according to a 2010 survey by CESI Debt Solutions. (And men are actually somewhat more likely to routinely do so than women.)
But just because it's common doesn't mean it's right. Experts say that little green lies do have the potential to damage your finances and your relationship. Fortunately there are ways to keep your marriage whole without revealing every dime you spend.
Lets hear ur views

I'm not married, so I can't tell from my own, but I doubt that I would keep things away from him! He would see them anyway, so it's useless and may create unnecessary arguments!
Live and let live!

I'm a lover of shoes and whenever I buy a new pair I always hid them in the closet amongst the others. I have alot of shoes, some I haven't worn yet, so he won't know when I buy a new pair.

She has been spending too much and the house has been advising her on it but she wouldnt listen to him..probably. Or perhaps, there are bills to be paid but she deny that she doesnt have the money for it but then she went shopping instead, for that reason; she would hide the items from her husband. so he doesnt ask her where she got the money to buy all those stuffs, but not to pay for the bills.
