Why is it that so many women in the west don’t know the value of a dollar and have the financial literacy of a wet carrot?

[HappyWoman34]

I don’t have the luxury of being able to afford to think about money, beyond it’s allowing me to eat, pay rent and dress myself.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Godspeed

But you need to educate these young thundercats because they seem to think money grows on trees , shrubs and in the club

[HappyWoman34]

I’m sure there are some sensible people left in the world. It’s just that there are lots of idiots and they’re more noticeable

A lot of women are spoiled. They are enabled by their parents and later romantic partners/sexual partners. To spend money and do whatever they want. There is women who do understand the value of money.

A lot of these women will reach a age or a point in time. Where they don’t just have money to blow through anymore or they marry into money and become miserable later on down the road.

You have to find a decent women who doesn’t feel entitled to your money, because she isn’t. If a woman is acting that way it’s your choice to give her money or not. The same with women being used for money.

But if you sleep around and/or enable these types of women. You’re not going to find good women. This includes paying for things like OF

[Opinion Owner]

It’s like stay at home moms. Sone manage a checkbook and credit cards and if her husband happens to run a business helps him out wijt things.

But then there are women who never worked a day in their lives and just blow through money like there is no tomorrow

[AnusNdaPainus]

My great great grandmother never worked a day in her life and I honestly do not have a problem with women blowing through money but your priorities have got to be in check

[AnusNdaPainus]

Don’t go buy 800 dollar purse when your rent is do at the end of the week

[Opinion Owner]

Your great grandmother grew up in a different time. She probably cooked, cleaned, and did everything around the house. A lot of women (not all) who want to be stay at home moms. Just want a free ride to he a lazy bum, and jot contribute anyrhint.

[Opinion Owner]

I agree. A lot of women back in the day also would help with finances. They understand what things cost. And wouldn’t get a 800 dollar purse if they can’t afford it

[AnusNdaPainus]

It was a full time job for her she had 13 kids and my granddad worked so much he was only home long enough to impregnate her again

[Opinion Owner]

Well. That’s a lot different then what housewives want today. They want to send their kids off to school and sit around watching soap operas, spending her husbands money, and sleeping with dudes on the side. Then act like they’re a victim and poor tjem. It’s just so hard sitting around cleaning and cooking

[handsomelad70]

Most beautiful women are showered with money by dudes as long as their looks hold out, that's why most lack financial acumen. If you notice, most female executives aren't exactly babes, so they realize early that men won't cater to their monetary desires, thus they must actually use their intelligence and industry to carve a path through the business boys' club to become #girlbosses.

[AnusNdaPainus]

And good for them
Me personally I’ll go down in appearance for a woman who is self aware

[Apple1996]

I think that goes for a lot of women and men now a days. They were not taught properly about finances

[AnusNdaPainus]

Men would still be living in caves if women weren’t so materialistic

[AnusNdaPainus]

A homeless man in Brooklyn built a fucking igloo you can’t pull that “ men and women are the same crap on this one “ men just need somewhere to sleep , eat and shit.

[Apple1996]

I'd also love to live simply but all the men are know are unfortunately not like that. They want big fancy houses

[Apple1996]

I'm currently living in a big house right now because of my husband. Last 3 houses were small and I loved it but all I heard was bitching from him 🤣

[RavVid]

I'd be happy in a settlers hut. Hesian bags dipped in cement last 50 years easily and make good walls. We have over engineered housing.

[Anonymous]

They just started earning money the past couple generations man. You got to give their gender a little time to understand the value of it.🤣

Also, women are generally ruled by thier emotions. Decision making and emotions are generally never a good combination.

[AnusNdaPainus]

That’s fair

[Billlewis]

I don't know if I necessarily agree with this perception; if anything, women in the U. S. are probably more knowledgeable about money matters than women elsewhere in the world, because so many American women have college degrees now.

[AnusNdaPainus]

They also have a ton of debt and continue to spend spend spend

A lesbian friend of mine was furious with her girlfriend because she worked OT for 8 months to buy this girl a car and her girlfriend didn’t like it because it wasn’t a 2020

[Billlewis]

I'm not saying they aren't spoiled, entitled and unrealistic in their expectations, only that they may be more savvy financially than we're giving them credit for. I'd also like to invite you to follow me, if you want.

[RavVid]

Yeah... but. Many of those college degrees are in feminist studies and psychology though business degrees are popular for both genders at about 18%.

[Billlewis]

@RavVid True, very true.

[RavVid]

I'm inclined to be divisive. Women are inherently in the sex business whilst men are inherently in the affording sex business.

You can reasonably expect different competencies to emerge from that fundamental observation.

[Avicenna]

LOL, European women are, as a group, a better at managing money than their US counterparts.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Eastern European sure

[normalice]

Money is a stepping stone between barbarism and civilization. Civilized people don't (err, shouldn't) have to worry about money or about anything needed for survival. That's the primary selling point of civilization, in fact.

[msc545]

Women typically don't know the difficulty involved in making money, but have no problem spending money they didn't earn.

[KrakenAttackin]

Let's start with most women have never had to buy a drink for themselves.

[Jamie05rhs]

Because they're spoiled.

[AnusNdaPainus]

They have to be
Have you seen those girls who say that they want a guy making millions a year
Like who raised you? It reminds me of that movie “Clueless”

[Jamie05rhs]

Exactly.

[laly520]

ehh?
