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?
Yes, it's true, the majority of women are more economical than men, men are used to being money earners for the family while women are actually the managers of family finances, but lately i've seen there are women whose lives are out of control, so hedonistic that it makes their finances a mess. social media continues to grow and there are many influencers who show off their luxurious lives, which makes both women and men unable to control their desire to spend the money they have.
Men are designed to solve problems which will always make them to spend money, as a men people are expecting support from you that is why will always work to have money in their pockets because their are lot of things to be spent on money. Growing up as a man family members are looking up to you bring the little you can support. It is normal that women are more economical than men, it is not possible for a man to save his money and not spend it on anything.
I agree with you, in my opinion it is also natural for women to be more frugal. men who have more responsibilities than women of course he works hard to get a high income to support his family and of course himself, especially if men are adults and have a family, of course they will think about everything regarding basic needs and for their daily lives because it is impossible for them not to shop for themselves, of course men also have their own needs that they must fulfill, the responsibility of men when they are married is very large he must work hard to support his small family even if it is wasteful in my opinion it is normal.
There is nothing wrong in any of this, but I think it all comes back to ourselves. Will we be able to manage our finances better so that we don't waste money later, by reducing our current lifestyle is one way. But what I know at the moment is that people will buy what they want, even if it's just for the sake of buying it.
