承认吧。
You Spent a Small Fortune on Yourself
你给自己花了一小笔钱
Even in this day and age, many people still don't level with their spouses 1 about how much they paid for some coveted 2 service or item, like a salon 3 treatment or a fancy new grill 4.
Indeed, it can be difficult to own up to, say, a $70 haircut at a chic 5 salon when your husband shells out just $22at the barber.
But keeping money secrets in a relationship creates bigger conflicts down the road. Sure, in this economy,sharing such information may lead to a discussion about cutting back.
But your partner will also get a better understanding of what you value most—and those conversations will ultimately bring the two of you closer.
