Half of adults have an emergency break-up fund their partner doesn’t know about, poll shows

Half of British adults admit they have set aside money specifically in case their relationship breaks down – without telling their partner, a new survey has shown.

The poll, which looked at the money habits of people in relationships, also showed more than a third (39 per cent) had kept bonuses secret, while 40 per cent saw overspending from their significant other as a big red flag.
