Our sense of who we are is intricately entwined with our spending habit.
When it comes to money, the female gender has been perceived and tagged the bigger spender.
While
women have been subliminally taught that all they need to get through
in life is acceptance which motivates them to always want to look good,
which also in turn make them to be buyers and acquisitors of things that
make them look good, men have also been taught in the same manner as
women to be investors in things that hold value, things that can make
them to be seen as men, a house, a car, a juicy retirement and so on...
According
to Onyinye, a married mother of three, spending is an
individual thing. She is of the Opinion that although some men are more
extravagant in spending than some women, there is no rule to it; but
when it comes to shopping impulsively, women are culprits.
Bola,
a male banker, feels women spend more. He asserted that the only thing
is just that most of the money women spend, it is the men that provide
it. While women spend on personal effects, pets, fashion items; Men
amazingly spend on groceries, dining out, phone calls, entertainment,
travel, electronics and gas.
Nevertheless, let us do a more
practical assessment. The cost of most of the fashion basics for men
cannot be compared to that of women, especially if the man is a freak
for genuine fashion items. A woman can pick 20 items in a mall in which
the total cost of these 20items might not probably be up to half the
cost of two pairs of male shoes another man will incure if he also shops
in the same mall.
Although women mostly spend on things that
have no asset value which gives them the "now" effect; Men generally
spend on way much heavier assets that can be passed from generation to
another.
Now, from the above, I will say both sexes spend. But men
spend reasonably on valuable assets which make them to be the bigger
spender!
