Just as I thought the women are spending double the guys at the moment! :)

you'll see Bill us ladies are smart shoppers, men aren't really, when some more women answer then I think our average will start to drop, provided people are answering honestly

In terms of women spending double to men, you might be interested to know that most of my spending is due to my partner's inability to lay-by items or save up, hence at least three quarters of my credit card balance is due to items for motorbikes, cars, etc etc. Guess I will have to learn to say NO heh and let him have his tantrum lol lol Jodie

with 2 properties an 2 children on one income, the interest rates rising took most of our income, so our credit card has been use lately for things we actually need mostly fuel and groceries. things are a bit easier now, but not all of us are stupidly spending and indulging with our credit card.

Things a bit tight so both of us using some credit.

I love shopping and spending so credit cards are helpfull to use untill you get paid and it pays urgent bills too......

I love to shop something badly but now a days just cant afford to buy all that i want so I now ask my hubby to do my buying for me, I see something I like and instead of me buying it for myself I get him to buy it for me. Till Death Do Us Part or is that CREDIT------sir?
