I sometimes think women have little or no control over spending. Therefore, they need a man who is owner of the credit card so he can manage silly spending and maybe guide her to only buy useful things for around the house. Ex. blender, vacuum cleaner, or a new microwave only if she has been good.

I handle my family's finances. Being a veteran of corporate administration, I'm more than qualified. And for the record: MY credit scores blow the doors off of my husband's, thankyouverymuch.

Hi Sandstorm. : )
I am one up on you. I don't use credit cards for the fact they do make it easy to spend too much money and they charge interest.
Now, about the part where we should buy only useful items.. can you tell me when your birthday is? I'd like to buy you a lawn mower ( just basic so we aren't wasting money ) and I thought maybe some plumbing supplies for your house. Would that be okay with you ? Have you been good to get these items?
I actually miss this!

Have a great day, Sandstorm.

I don't have a man, but my dad trusts me with a credit card. He knows that I won't go crazy and go on a shopping spree with it. I can control my spending.

My name is on his card...so yea..

Man, you seem really traditional....

You must have woken up this morning and said' "Hey, what stupid question could I ask to get a bunch of angry answers from women, who will tell me what an idiot I am so I can feel special and have attention."
Well, this is the one.
Goal for the day- achieved.

not all women are shopaholics ya know. i'm very responsible with money. i'm cheap, even. i hardly ever treat myself to anything.

he was in charge of the cards but i had my name on them as well since i'm the one who did the household shopping alone (I.D. stuff you know)

Since you are obviously writing this ...ah.... question...
from an institution for the completely seperated from reality I will be as ..um... civil... as I can be... under the circumstances...
Are you completely crazy? You have got to be joking! "My" man isn't an idiot. You need to familiarize yourself with the 19th century thinking, and then if your heart survives that intake, try to move on up the CENTURIES until you arrive at the "here and now"...
With your Doctor's approval; of course. You aren't married, are you? Not that it's obvious, or anything...

No man allows me to do anything. I choose to do what I want, when I want, with whom I want, etc. I am an adult and my credit cards have my name on them, and I pay the bills. So, I really think you should get your head out of your a**.
