An international survey has found that women are better at managing money than men. They work harder to become financially independent and they are not as likely to get into debt as men.
The survey showed that both men and women think the same. Almost 5,000 men and women in 12 countries were asked.
Although 40% of women said they used credit cards most of them thought that having more than one credit card could lead to financial problems. On the other side, most women admitted that they spent more than men.
The results of the survey could help companies understand the needs of women because they live longer and usually have less money when they retire. Women who share their money with their husbands often suffer more when a relationship ends. Some of them have saved up money if they get into such a situation, others simply don't care.
About 6 out of every 10 women said they were financially independent. However, almost half thought that a man should be responsible for paying the mortgage or house payments.
