Women are more economical than men.

[bakasabo]

When it comes to shopping, women are a little careless, because they are easily tempted by the offers offered by the mall and tend to be quickly tempted by the good things they have just seen. while men are smarter at shopping, it's just that they are careless in managing their money because they often spend it on things that are less useful, such as going out with friends or other things.

That is why men come shopping with a list, and women grocery basket is always so full that products fall from it just because they know better how to combine food But in the hardware or spare parts store situation is opposite. Like you've said - everything is individual. I think the saying "women are more economical than men" comes from old times, when the wealth of a person was valued by his property, and women were mostly did all the housework, while men worked. Nowadays, there is a tiny gap between which gender is more economical, as both genders earn and spend more than in past.

We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?

To be honest with you, I feel that this debate was supposed to spark misogynistic and misandrist ideas among people which kind of makes the schism or divide much bigger which I believe isn't really a good thing. My opinion on this claim though is that because of roles that was imposed on both men and women, both sexes aren't freely able to choose which one they should do because either other men or women shun them for it or the society has a different expectations for them which they feel like they have to fulfill.

It's important to avoid making generalizations about the abilities of women and men as managers based on spending habits. Management skills and abilities vary greatly among individuals and are not determined by gender. Effective management is influenced by a range of factors, including education, experience, leadership qualities, and personal preferences.

Was about to say this, I don't think that there's a point in saying who's more economical of the two sexes. Habits are a universal thing and it just so happens that sometimes one gender are doing it more compared to other but that doesn't mean that they're the worse, I mean the debate and statistics misses the point, that there's a lot of men and women out there that's are bad at managing their money and in the end we are focusing on the wrong thing.

There's nothing to argue on this, we just have to accept it on a general terms that women are more economical than men, we don't have to be bias in this, we all should have learnt one or two things from our mothers which we see the lapse from our father's responsibility, generally, when it comes to home management, women have this automated certification without having to go through an institution before knowing what to do.

And for this reason, if you get married, you should always talk to your wife before making any decisions. Women can sometimes be smarter than men, so if your husband thinks you can handle things on your own, you won't get very far. On top of that, the fact that women are called "mothers" implies that they are custodians and can handle any situation well. Fathers also tend to be providers and don't worry too much about that kind of management. So consult your wife before anything.

I think that the OP made a mistake about trying to carry out generalizations. Statistically and research wise, there are different skills that women are better at handling than the men and vice versa but whatever it is that is can be learnt should not be generalized. Like saying that women are better at handling and keeping money . Totally incorrect. This has been learnt and reinforced overtime by mothers to your daughters so that is why you would say that you're more economical than men. Men can learn too how to be economical.

Men could learn easily to be more economical, whereas with men it is kind of inborn thing. Most have come up with the statement based on the real life experience. Maybe this could be different on the corporate level or with the institutions. This isn't generalization, it is all about Women taking additional responsibility to support the family. A simple thing Women used to save small amount from what is given for the household expense. When her man is in need and he looks for borrowing, she supports with the amount saved. This is also kind of being more economical.

You pointed it right. I didn't understand why people divided these things by gender when everyone got equal rights and contributed to their family almost equally. The title of this thread is not right when a girl finds a sugar daddy. They spend millions on a vacation and do not care about how that money is earned. Sometimes, I feel like I should give all my money to my wife so she can manage how much to spend and where.

When I get my salary and start spending it on their needs, at some point, I get broke, and she asks for the breakdown. Where did you spend all the money? Well, it's all there. You asked for this and that, and I bought them all. So, why are you asking?

Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?

There are many reasons why women are much more frugal than men and try accompanying a woman to the market once in a while and you will find what men don't have. Women can save money even though they need the money to meet their needs and this is different from men because it is difficult for us to control our finances when we want to buy something. Even when we relax with friends, sometimes we spend a lot more money because we talk about prestige and always want to look great in their eyes.

That's why if you want to live frugally then leave all the responsibilities for household needs to be managed by your wife and it is guaranteed that it will be carried out well if they are in control. They will create protection first before buying and if it is not considered very important then they will refrain from buying it.

It is true, it is a characteristic of all women. I have seen that women will take account of their husbands without any fault. But if the husband wants to take any account from his wife then the wife will get angry and scold the husband even more. Now I mention from my personal life. I currently owe some money to the base. Now my thought is how I will repay the loan. But my wife doesn't think about that. When I get my salary, my wife buys one thing after another and spends all the money. Women now spend more on changing times. Women are not thrifty to improve their families, but now men are more thrifty. But I am not talking about all women, there are some women who put a lot of thought and effort into improving their family.

Where's the gender equality? For me, both husband and wife should have different savings for their Leisure and personal expenses so that there's no room for questioning all the kinds of stuff that they did with their money.
I agree with you that some women have that kind of characteristic (being not thrifty and irresponsible in their expenses because I know someone like that) but have you seen an independent woman who knows everything specifically in handling the finances just like what men can do?

[bayu7adi]

Where's the gender equality? For me, both husband and wife should have different savings for their Leisure and personal expenses so that there's no room for questioning all the kinds of stuff that they did with their money.

Fundamentally, the activities of husbands and wives should ideally be collaborative, with no secrets between them, including personal finances. Anyone claiming the need for separate funds for personal expenses signifies that complete trust in their partner has not yet fully emerged. If you trust and have mutual understanding with your partner, finances should be managed jointly. Eliminating ego can be challenging, as marriage aims to unite two hearts, not just merge assets alone.

Furthermore, the notion that women are inherently thriftier than men is currently far from being guaranteed. It's evident that some women are still irresponsible with family finances and tend to favor shopping sprees at malls.

There's nothing to argue on this, we just have to accept it on a general terms that women are more economical than men, we don't have to be bias in this, we all should have learnt one or two things from our mothers which we see the lapse from our father's responsibility, generally, when it comes to home management, women have this automated certification without having to go through an institution before knowing what to do.

I think to get this accurate it can only depend on individual,  age. Most married women are economy when you compare to a young single lady . A woman with family when handling money, she cannuse it very well to manage the whole family and their can still be left over of the money but this can be very difficult for a young lady to manage. Most young lady just want to be conformable, and when going for shopping to get stuffs they may decides to get things in a large quantity that may not be needed.  I think the management of money is a thing of individual,  have seen men who are good when it comes to management of money.

Interestingly, we need to value our women because they also have a level of knowledgeable impact they can contribute to our lives, we cannot know everything all alone or do things all by ourselves especially when the love is there and we trust each other, you have spoken well mate, men can also act wildly and no one can be limited in the rate at which they can do well or bad, if you indeed have to make some financial savings successful, then consult your wife first and discuss it together, they are very sound at doing that without issues.

When it comes to shopping, women are a little careless, because they are easily tempted by the offers offered by the mall and tend to be quickly tempted by the good things they have just seen. while men are smarter at shopping, it's just that they are careless in managing their money because they often spend it on things that are less useful, such as going out with friends or other things.

However, when talking about the household, there is a division of tasks where the husband focuses on making money and the wife manages the finances.

Yes, it's true, it all depends on each individual and cannot be equalized by everyone.

Coincidentally, I have a friend who is married, he often shares stories with me, and it's true as you say. It is true that women are more careless in managing finances. My friend as a husband now understands what he has to do. It's not that he doesn't trust his wife, since he got married he has always been open about financial problems, he even gives his pay slip every time he gets paid to his wife along with the ATM. He hopes that his wife will do the opposite, namely be open.

But his results from work every month are far above the average of most people in his office, and sometimes he also does double work at night as a musician in cafes. Hope that when their son grows up, they will have savings for school fees etc. But in reality, never mind savings, even those who have dependents everywhere, because he buys whatever he sees, especially if he goes to the mall there are discounted products, he always buys them, so sometimes what he buys isn't that important. Indeed, there are many myths that say wives are smarter about managing finances, but in reality men are the ones who are smart at managing finances well.

[Forever101]

I agree to some extent, the spending of a man has purpose in most cases but for some women, they spent on unnecessarily things, money kept for a long time can be used to buy something that may end up not generating any money to her.

Very correct, what I think every man should do is to talk sense into their wives until they are able to change their mind from useless things that waste their money. A man can also convince his wife to be responsible in the home , they should spend on their kids without asking the husband , that makes them real mother's. So the saying that men spend more is true and to make it more clearer , some men spend responsibly. That women are economical is kind of true, however, the savings can be lavish on unnecessary things.

But I am not talking about all women, there are some women who put a lot of thought and effort into improving their family.

I will buy the last part of what you said. Yes, it is true that not all the women in the world are the type that spend more carelessly. If I should use myself as an instance, I would like to say I don't spend much money, because I only spend when I have more money or have free money, which someone might give to me or even when I win a lottery, but when we come to the other aspects of hard-earned money, I don't spend more than how I have planned because if I don't schedule my self on spending it will definitely affect me in the near days to come, although I worked for my money as I am independent.

Some women are just wild like an animal (so sorry to say that) to the extent of not thinking or planning about how to make a good home for themselves and their families. Likewise, for men, you know, if it is very hard for a man and a woman that are married to understand each other, more especially when they are begging to know each other, but when they have lived for a couple of years and one of them is not planing to build a good hope, then it's not gonna work because no home can be of wellness without money.

However, it is good to save in a family, because, as a family, a day must come when they will need money to take care of some problems, but if there is no saving of funds, then they will have to borrow, so they can solve the issues at hand. Some men don't like it when their wife is receiving a more monthly salary than them because of this same issues, just like in every little cases the wife will like to showcase herself because she earns more than the man.

Being able to understand how to manage finances is very good because even a small income is enough for daily needs. I agree with you that in terms of financial management it will really depend on each individual, because everyone has experienced many difficulties in earning income, so they will make good use of the expenses they need and for those who have never experienced the difficulty of earning money, of course once they earn income they will be able to easily spend it on whatever they like.

I agree to some extent, the spending of a man has purpose in most cases but for some women, they spent on unnecessarily things, money kept for a long time can be used to buy something that may end up not generating any money to her.

I won't say that for all men and also for all women because in my environment there are also a lot of men who spend their money on unnecessary things or things that don't make money. Meanwhile, some of the women I see continue to do good work by using their money to make more money through the business and trade they do every day.

Very correct, what I think every man should do is to talk sense into their wives until they are able to change their mind from useless things that waste their money. A man can also convince his wife to be responsible in the home , they should spend on their kids without asking the husband , that makes them real mother's. So the saying that men spend more is true and to make it more clearer , some men spend responsibly. That women are economical is kind of true, however, the savings can be lavish on unnecessary things.

Advising a wife is indeed the duty of husbands because before they got married they also promised that they would build a happy household together so we should not blame one of them because most wives prefer to take care of their household based on what her husband gives and gives her so that she will always carry out her duties as a wife until her children are well educated.

Because if a husband does not provide physical and spiritual support for a wife and children at home, a wife will also not be able to do more things to fulfill all her household needs adequately because whatever the conditions, a wife's movements will definitely be very limited so that I I wouldn't say that women are wasteful when shopping or using money because most married women spend money on what they need most, not on things that are not important to themselves.

[Ricardo11]

Of course it's true, women are better managers than men, men always spend money randomly. In that case women understand well where to spend money and they always spend money calculatedly. Besides, women are used to saving, they never waste money unnecessarily, they can save very well, which protects them from big dangers later. In this case, women are more frugal than men.

[SmartCharpa]

We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?

You are absolutely correct. There is nothing to argue about since it has already been shown that women are better at managing and being economical with their money than men. When it comes to financial responsibility, men always believe that it is their responsibility to take care of everything. Even though they keep their money for various reasons, if a problem arises, they will most likely use the money they have saved. However, women, to give you an example, can manage: even though there is a problem to solve, they can only handle about 30% of it. Let's use a husband and wife as an example; the husband will always spend, but the wife will only save. All of these responsibilities belong to men, and there is no need to argue about it. We tend to think of ourselves as being in charge, but we must acknowledge that we are not better managed than women are.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

We cannot compare the way women reason to that of how men do, being economical does not lies in the inability to make a financial source for one self due to being dependent for that, but women have the tenacity of making plans both short and a long term plan in working out things for the sustainability of the family in the economy and this is just their own way of complementing every efforts rendered by men in financial support.
