Have you ever lied for financial gain? The odds are strong that you've done it at least once. According to a new study from finder.com, almost 4 out of 5 Americans have admitted to lying for some type of financial gain – and many don't feel guilty about their lies.
Over 2,000 U.S. adults were asked if they had committed any of the financial lies presented in a list, from the illegal to the merely unethical. A surprising 78% of respondents admitted to at least one of the transgressions. Assuming a random sample, the study implies that almost 193 million American adults have lied for financial gain at some point in their lives.
Over half of respondents had lied in two specific areas – pocketing found money that wasn't theirs (56%) and accepting an undercharge or excess change without bringing it to a seller's attention (52%).
