In Marriage, Who Spends the $$?

Who Makes the Call at the Mall, Men or Women?

Excerpt:

Several recent surveys suggest that men have nearly equal say on spending, and that when men and women live together, both participate in spending decisions. In a survey conducted last year of nearly 4,000 Americans 16 and older by Futures Co., a London consulting firm, just 37% of women said they have primary responsibility for shopping decisions in their household, while 85% said they have primary or shared responsibility. The respective figures for men were similar: 31% and 84%.

Comment: My guess is that Kathee spends most of our money - she is the primary shopper.
