Are Women Causing Their Partner’s Bad Debts?

Some time ago, I read from a local newspaper that, women are causing their partner’s bad debts.

I do not 100% agree with this statement.

Are women causing their partner’s bad debts?

In our modern society, more and more women are independent. And these women earn income just like their partners to support themselves and their families.

Some even can bring more income compared to their partner. How could we cause our partners’ bad debts?

The news blames it on demanding wives who keep on pestering their husbands for big-ticket purchases which later causing the husband to be in debt. I believe, smart husbands will not keep their financial situation a secret from their partner.

The husband should discuss and involve their wives in their financial situation, whether they can afford the big-ticket items. If the wives are not being informed, they will never know that their husbands have other high responsibilities.

For smart wives, I am sure they will not trouble their husbands if they understand that their husband cannot fulfil their each and every wish, especially expensive items.

Perhaps, both can start a saving plan before the purchase, which means that make sure the cash is there before they do the purchase. Most probably, by the time they have the cash, they will not proceed with the purchase as they know it is hard to save that amount of money.

But, I do understand that there are women who are especially expensive and demanding. These women always enjoy comparing with the Jones. They must have new expensive items every now and then. And must keep up to the standard of their friends and relatives.

These women must learn to purchase and to spend with their own hard-earned money. For men, if you cannot afford these types of women, it is wise to stay away from them.

Most importantly, husbands should not be shameful to discuss with wives their current financial situations. And wives must be understanding and try to support their husbands on financial issues.

Final thoughts

By planning and working out the plan together, both not only can avoid bad debts but can increase their wealth.

To all the women out there, let us not causing our partner’s bad debts. Instead, let us learn to be financially independent.
