I then remembered that in married life, the woman should be the treasurer. Because if the man is said to be the treasurer, he usually does not manage the money properly for the family. I don't agree with all of them, but most of these sayings have some truth to them.
But in times like this that we are facing in life, maybe we should just say that there is a time when a woman is good at managing money, and there is also a time when a man is better at managing money. That means it depends on how responsible both parties are, whether they are women or men.
Topic: Women are more economical than men. - page 8. (Read 1746 times)
I know that calculating the average income of men and women makes a big difference, but hearing that most women are good at saving is true and women dominate in this regard. Because usually every woman gets a salary or even if she is married, she is always obliged to save/invest 50%, 40% for family living needs, and so on, 10% for my emergency needs. Moreover, the role of women in the family is not only limited to mothers who are in charge of educating children but also managing daily finances and even several other strategic decisions related to financial matters.
On average, this is true because a woman who is married and has children will always make the most mature considerations possible when she wants to spend money on something. But there are also those who are only good at educating their children and are not good at managing finances so that such women never have emergency savings other than relying solely on money from their husbands. Because not all women can afford to make investments when they already have the task of educating their children and keeping their household from falling apart.Quote
Women always think that men in general are often very careless when it comes to money. The majority of women in this part of the world are good at looking after their finances, because usually when men earn a lot, they always spend on useless expenses, such as luxury cars and compulsive purchases. So it's true as you said, women always spend money using feelings and thinking carefully.
I also agree that women really rely on their feelings when they want to spend money and this happens on average to every woman. But you also don't have to blame men who buy luxury cars when they already have a lot of money, because luxury is something that everyone needs to enjoy after they are tired of working to earn money. So there is nothing wrong with men buying luxury cars if they have more ability to do so, except for men who do not have more ability to make that happen. It is clear that such a man would be very wrong if he only cared about luxury and ignored the daily needs of himself and his family. 
Both men and women spend money on a daily basis, but the argument about who spends money mostly is what I don't know, but I do say that women are the ones who spend more. My reason is because men are the ones who work so hard to get the money, so they can't just spend it anyhow, but I still believe that there are also men who spend more than women, but the rate of men spending is less compared to women. Women spend more money than men because some of the money that they have is given to them by men and you can imagine the fact that you are given free money that you don't even work for. However, some women are independent and I believe that people who are independent have discipline in terms of spending.
You are right, women definitely spend more than men. Men work hard to earn and men spend according to necessity. Men always calculate and save money. Men like to save more. But women spend more than men on different types of cosmetics, clothes, etc. without counting. Earlier women used to spend money sparingly, but women of this generation prefer to dress up and spend more. Most women spend more, some women are frugal. 
I think in history, up until the last couple decades, woman have often been earning a fair chunk less in wages. This has left them somewhat reliant on others in some ways. That cultural shift has changed but mothers from older generation might still be passing the message of frugality onwards and it definitely is useful. In the current materialistic and instant gratification world, it's more important than ever to be careful where you spend your money. It's very easy to waste but increasingly harder to earn.
Wage levels do not depend on gender ratios but according to each job, although historically women have received small wages, but in certain job positions women have received higher wages than men. Women are very calculating about expenses and are very economical, they will prioritize basic needs over spending on other things, women are also very good at managing finances for the future, part of their wages will be allocated to savings.Technological developments are increasingly changing, many social media platforms encourage women to run their businesses, business careers such as online skincare shops are very popular as businesses that bring wealth, even though women have billionaire status, they are very careful about spending money on needs that are not prioritized.
I think that you are thinking about the typical stereotype of the occidental woman full of bags and expensive accessories, but I hope this is the exception and not the rule. IMO, in general, in the world men are more frugal than women (they bet more, they drink more, they go whores more often, they value more expensive motorbikes/cars/yatches...), while women think more about the future, the care of children, etc.
On the other hand, I don't think that we are taking this topic as a competition, but simply as a curiosity. You are right that more subjectively than objectively because most of us are giving our opinion rather than scientifically obtained data, but I think that it is valuable to some extent.
I am not entirely sure that's true, the type of men you are talking about is rarer than you think, I believe that men are far more frugal but also this is just pitting to genders against each other and would not win anyone anything if we keep this up.On the other hand, I don't think that we are taking this topic as a competition, but simply as a curiosity.

I think it would be smarter to handle it a bit more professionally and the best way to do that would be making sure that you are doing fine. I know that individually we are different from each other, so try to be frugal and try to find someone else that is frugal and be happy.
If you can do that , then we are going to end up with saving a lot of money, investing in good assets and the result would be nice. Unfortunately not a lot of people do that and the results are usually not that great. This is why the best thing to do is care about your own individual situation and you will be doing a lot better on the long run that way. I hope that it could get to a point where it is only based on you, and not anyone else.
This feels like engagement farming.
I say this since.
You can have a valid argument in either direction.
here is where the real argument is.
Free cash. what does it get spent on? who reinvests it more? who buys more toys/beauty products? << that right there is where the answers are.

I manage the money at home and I can say I have a hard time keeping it up. The budgets. I don't list anything, I just spend what is required in the house and see to it that the stocks will never be depleted. Although I don't spend anything on bad habits or hobbies, it seems like the budget is always short. I tried to pass that problem to my wife but she doesn't want to handle money.
Are they economical? It actually depends. Some women like spending the money on different things that are not necessary while some do like saving it so that it will last long until the next payroll comes. I can say that because some of my past girlfriends were economical and others are not.
I think we cannot also assume unless we live with them under the same roof. Because that's when problems will come.
Yeah, we need to take care of whatever is needed, and if our woman end up wanting to be spoiled sometimes, that is also our job to do that time to time, but we need to make sure that we could limit it and be make sure that they do not go too bad and spend way too much and need to limit it.Are they economical?

I hope that we could end up with something that would be a lot more sensible as well. I know that it is going to end up with something that could make sure that it is going to end up with a good result. I get that we are going to end up with a result that would be a lot more important than what you think it would be, and we should be reaching to a point where we could make some return whenever we can. So, we need to adjust it personally and make sure everything is under control.

Today's women can be more wasteful than men. A man today may care about moderation in fashion or luxury cars, mobiles or various necessities of life, but women will be seen to spend more extravagantly on these things. In ancient times, women were more thrifty and money-conscious than in modern times.
Earlier women were mostly confined to homes and had a simple life due to which frugality was common, but now women are not confined to the home and are seen in every sphere of life. This is why most women have this nature to compete with other women in everything, whether it is a luxury car, mobile or expensive clothes, they want to prove themselves superior in everything. This is the biggest cause of wastage.
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?

The thing that makes women more economical than men is that most women think that earning money is difficult so the thing you can do is always think economically, and I think the other side is that women often use feelings when they want to spend money.

In some cases women can't be more economical because they intend to get everything at ones without thinking of how hard the money comes, only thing they have in mind is bring the money let me spend.
At some point I don't blame it on women who doesn't know how to save, it all boils down to how some are being raised. When it comes to up keeping it turns out to be that is the man who's acting as the woman of the house and the woman is nowhere to be found in the family tree, spending is good but you spend and save too. So we can find this act in both genders not only women who are economical.

I absolutely disagree with this, because in my family, all women, on the contrary, are spenders. Only my aunt, who has an education, is an accountant who knows how to manage money perfectly, but this is an exception. I think that in most cases the situation is exactly the same, because women are more impulsive, they really like to buy expensive things that they just liked right now. At the same time, they do not think about future spending that they need to save money for a rainy day or for some unpleasant times. And even talking to them about it only makes them aggressive, and they don't want to discuss this issue with me.
At the same time, all men are great with money, have an application where they record, all spending knows where every dollar is spent.

I don't agree!!!I think necessities are being mistaken for being economical!!! Btw where I come from men pretty much have to takecare of their women and family (take it with a pinch of salt) and any money going around the home is budgeted for as a family and as a man you know how much money is needed to cover for all what's needed, utility bills, food, holiday planning, entertainment you name it.
Btw I have seen couples have arguments of the man's money is for everyone while the wife's money is to be used on her which tells you how uneconomical a woman can be but of course others are practical about living within their means.

Although there are quite some cases where they do the opposite, but most of the time we can see that women have better economical management skill compared to men especially in marriage scene. Men is so easy to get distracted with their money hence they are bad with it including me lol. I don't think it's unpopular, in here they are quite common and it's pretty normal to see women do that thing often.

However, some women are independent and I believe that people who are independent have discipline in terms of spending.
This is a pretty outdated claim and belief. The main root of this claim is gender roles wherein men are expected to provide while women stays at home and pay the bills with the money the men give. However, with such changes following the steady removal of gender roles and gender stereotypes both in society and in work place, women and men are finally free from the barriers of roles they were expected to play in, meaning men and women can be providers and nurturers at home. Hence, going back to the topic, it doesn't matter what an individual's gender is it all comes down to personal insights, actions, and decisions.
If you look at appearance or fashion, men are actually simpler and less wasteful in spending things, on the other hand, women really prioritize appearance, even to buy clothes and beauty equipment, women will spend more money. It is likely that most socialite women are very wasteful when it comes to finances. Men's financial expenses are more burdened by the responsibilities that must be given to children and wives. It can be said that responsible men can only have as much money as they need compared to women because it has been given entirely to more useful things.
