In our Money Secrets series, we ask people to confess their furtive money-related secrets which they are hiding from loved ones or that people do not know the full extent of.
Today, we speak to Beatrice, 48, who has been with her husband Tony for 18 years and has two teenage children with him.
She reveals that even though she has a happy marriage, she has a secret “running away account” so that she has a financial safety net in case things ever go wrong.
