(NBC NEWSCHANNEL) Millions of Americans are hiding a financial secret from their significant other.

A recent study by creditcards.com finds 13 million Americans have hidden a bank or credit card account from their live-in spouse, partner or significant other.

That’s not the only financial secret being kept, the study found.

41% have spent over $100 without their spouse or partner's knowledge.

But most Americans can't be accused of hypocrisy when it comes to such financial secrets.

47% said they'd be okay with their significant other spending more than $100 without being told about it.
