This lady reminded us of an incident in the US. A couple wishing to sell their house, had a cash of 10,000 or so which they gifted it to their relatives as they did not want to disclose this to the IRA. As it happenned, there was a couple who wished to buy the house who offered less than their debts which they had to clear.
The thing is this- they disclosed the fact that they had 10,000 and what do you know! there was another couple who was interested in the house and a bidding war emerged. These people had enough money to pay off the debts.
As she sums it up, when one is honest about one's finances it draws out the positivity and which culminated in them a higher price for the house.
In other worlds, do not deceive yourself or the government.
