Infidelity With The Cheque-Book
Toronto, ON - A recent Ipsos Reid survey of Canadians in a committed relationship conducted for lawyers.com, reveals men more often share their bank books with their partner than women: 79 per cent of committed men have joint accounts with their partners, compared to only 68 per cent of women (overall 74% of those surveyed have a joint bank account with their partner).
And, one in five (20%) of those in a committed relationship admit that they have been dishonest with their partner about their spending habits - while most (80%) say they have been honest.
- Women (23%) are more likely than men (18%) to admit to having been dishonest to their partner about their spending.
These are the findings of an Ipsos Reid/LexisNexis poll conducted on behalf of lawyers.com from April 27 to May 1, 2006. For the survey, a representative, randomly selected sample of 1,184 adult Canadians completed an online survey. With a sample of this size, the results are considered accurate to within 177 2.8 percentage points at a confidence interval of 95 per cent. The margin of error will be larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey population
