This regularly pops up in the Cleared world with people asking if it will interfere with a clearance.

I’ve had to advise multiple people it’s a very good way to be denied for a clearance.

The reasoning is simple for anyone who is curious: if there is anything that you are hiding from anyone that can be used to exert leverage over you that’s an instant issue that can cause denial or revocation of a clearance.




Also if you're looking for a security clearance it's wise to have valid explanations for why you need all that money. Most clearances are denied because of financial-related reasons.


Isn't wanting to retire comfortably some day in the future a pretty valid reason?


I don't know what you mean by "cleared world". Can you explain?
