After another discussion I started about money, I noticed that almost all the answers (mostly from women) stated that their husband or "man" was not good handling money. They went on to say that the man in their lives spent too much and didn't know how to save, much less pay the bills. This holds true in my household. My husband couldn't even tell you how much goes out every month in bills, or how much a specific bill is. Why is this? Why are men so laxidaisy when it comes to finances? Why do they seem to have the "who cares about tomorrow" attitude. I'm not bashing men at all, just curious ....

Depends on the person a lot of the time. As a man, I will admit that many of my fellow men have absolutely no financial aptitude. However on the other side of the coin, there are a lot of women who have no idea how to even manage their money. They spend it like there is no tomorrow. There are some women who I know who think that money is just some magical thing that will keep replenishing itself. If you throw credit cards into the ring, then you have even more problems. Of course this is true with men as well. Both genders have a shaky understanding of finance in many cases. This is a really tough one to think of right across the board. I think people who have an idea that they need to save something, regardless of the gender, have half of the battle won. The other half is dealing with the other gender, who might not be as apt will and will just cause your well earned money to vanish before it can be saved. So I think there is really no answer to this question as both genders can be inept.

For me men is capable of gaining more income than women. Because men is superior for me. Women also spend there money in malls and etc.
