New couples reveal their salaries after eight dates, according to research. However, the survey of 2,000 adults found half believe disclosing your income to a new partner is one of the most awkward conversations daters can have. But 55 per cent think it is important to be transparent about incomes at this stage – as 45 per cent believe it can build trust. On the other hand, 48 per cent of those who disagree want couples to focus on emotional connection rather than finances when the romance is in its infancy. The research was commissioned by Skipton, which has been in London during UK Savings Week with its ‘Money Talks Booth’ challenging couples to take the awkwardness out of money chat and blindly share their financial confession with an expert on hand.
