Twenty percent of young couples in Australia admit to stealing money from each other's wallet without their partner's permission.
Twenty percent of young couples in Australia admit to stealing money from each other's wallets without their partner's permission, the Daily Mail reported. Some experts believe that the lack of cash economic is the main reason for this situation.
Twenty percent of couples under the age of 30 admit to stealing money from their partner's wallet, it is reported. The proportion of couples under the age of 40 is 18%. But in Generation X, only 8 percent of people said they did so without their partner's knowledge, and that proportion decreased as they got older.
The survey also found that Australian couples steal more money from their partner's cash cans.
Overall, only 10% of couples over the age of 18 steal money from their partner's wallet.
Micenbeck (Steve Mickenbecker), head of financial services group at research firm Canstar, said the figures were surprising but also reflected the good side. At least 90% of people respect their partner's property and won't touch it.
With cash-free economic becoming more and more popular, most Australians aged 18 to 29 no longer carry cash, Micenbeck said. He believes young Australians often steal money from their partners' wallets when completing quick shopping such as milk or coffee.
