Men, Women, and Their Finances
Summary
Men and women often have different perspectives on finances, debt, and credit card repayments. A recent survey highlights these differences in outlook and financial planning.Article
When it comes to finances, men and women tend to approach their money matters differently. A recent survey explores these contrasting perspectives.
Women are generally more concerned with their current debt levels, focusing on paying off credit card bills, store cards, and loans, alongside managing mortgage, shopping, and living expenses. About 75% of women worry about these immediate financial obligations, compared to less than 50% of men. Interestingly, only 13% of men know their exact current debt levels.
Men, on the other hand, are more future-oriented and better prepared financially for the long haul. Over half of men invest in ISAs, while only 35% of women do the same. Additionally, 60% of men have a savings account compared to 50% of women. When it comes to retirement, 75% of men are contributing to a pension, whereas only half of women are doing so.
When it comes to understanding credit scores, both men and women share common misconceptions. Although most believe they understand the factors affecting credit scores, nearly all respondents missed at least one question related to credit reports. Only 5% have checked their credit reports in the past year.
Surprisingly, one in four people are unaware that late payments impact credit scores, and over 40% do not realize that frequently applying for credit can also affect their score. Many respondents incorrectly believe that unpaid household bills influence lending decisions. Alarmingly, 60% of men and 67% of women think credit reference agencies decide on credit applications, when in fact, the decisions are made by lenders like banks and credit card companies.
To make informed financial decisions, it’s crucial to understand your credit score and how credit scoring works. This knowledge empowers you to better manage your finances and make smarter choices when applying for credit.
