I don't think us women are poor money managers, you men just don't understand how & why we spend our money.

For example, I will go out and see something for the house, say a Brabantia dustbin, which I KNOW will last for 10 years as it has a 10 year guarantee so I know I won't need to buy another one for this time, but Hubby went quiet when I bought ours 4 years ago and he found the receipt....but, the lid's broken at least 4 times and been replaced free of charge by Brabantia.

However, Hubby will go and buy Doom (which doesn't work on his xbox 360), cheap socks (which I've banned him from doing as they leave fluff all over the carpets), books he never reads, food & vitamin supplements he never uses (I collected a black bag of this stuff & threw it out - he never even noticed). Markets seem to bring out the worst in him, with him bringing home the most junk.

So, you see, we women buy quality that is built to last, but men buy crap.....

Vezz - lazy people like cheap things because it means they don't have to clean or maintain it, they can just chuck it. Now I'm definitely a 'cheap cost you twice in the long run' thinking brotha, and that's from material possessions to the woman you choose Now I got clothes in my wardrobe that been going 10 years and they never look old and never go out of fashion, class never does

In my days I was guilty of buying clothes waiting for that special occasion to buss dem only to find no occassion was ever good enough and when I eventually tried them on the no longer fit

But this is where I will level with you. Some brothas I grew up in school with, financially have never recovered from the first car they bought in their teens....just to get pu$$y. I think one must of got his mum to buy his and the other scrimped and scraped and gigolo'd some pum pum to get his. By the time these cars had run their course these people were financially ruined, and weren't even in their early 20's...I was still in college

The gigolo bro got his last car from a pardner draw, in this day and age you know! - by then he was a mini cab driver. He's running up behind Ligali's batty now promoting Africa as his claim to fame...and 20 years later still trying to recover from the first car he boought. Saying that, he won some discrimination case against babylon, or more his woman did so he might just be even now You see what some of you women make some of us men do for pu$$y.

Agreed though, don't think women are any worse than managing money than men, my friends dad left him 10 grand to keep him going while he went back home and he blew the lot on weed in less than 4 months.

For the record, my babymother was all about money, it was her life and her god and she was a wicked hustler. Even now she's using my marriage values to stop me remortgaging my house (ex family house/childrens house), I think she believes she has money in it lol.

And check this, she has a house she rents out, which apparently I have marital rights to, and she had a house which she mortgagegd with her brother which sh e is now trying to sell to babylon as her brothers house. You want to see some of the letters she writes how I kicked her out of the house and she has had to move in with her brother boo hoo hoo etc when this time all she's trying to do is secure the money and investments she already has, get even more and at the same time ruin me financially.

Check it, how can you intefere with someones money then have it telling people that person doesn't give you any money for the kids. Man we went to court one day and even the judge saw her as a liar.

So my stance now is that she'd married for money so it's up to her to go to court and get it. Now check this, she either can't afford to take it to court or if she does she is petrified that she might even come out worse off and loose the house she bought as her pension. She's all willing to sit on it for 18 years. I tell you it's all she's ever done, hang about when she should have f**ked off, even now she's riding my coat tell but at least now I don't have to look at her monkey face or see my children suffer.

You need to check the cheek, doesn't share any of my values but she's going to get money and a house while trying to scapegoat the kids to get it. Then want to tell people what I could not have done without her money when if it was about money, I would have told her
to take hers and dash her belly - her money is worth sh!t without my values.

So now I'm just biding my time. I just got a few things to sort out and the real beauty is, any money I spend on legal fees is actually her money, money she believed she invested in the house lol so where she thinks \i wasting money onlawyers, I'm spending hers, money that she should have spent on her kids.

Proper money monkey I tell you and you know the serious thing is that if I was in it for money my show would have flopped a long time ago. Silly babylon daughter and her babylon army feel seh she can tess jah jah son. Scary thoug how the onmly thing she has on me are my virtues and my children oh and of course her two gemini faces

Still, have to say, I know many brothas who wear this same cap, indeed it was her who said only I'm doing the thing I do which makes it even worse because what the hell are you hanging about with me for. These women invest in men like an asset. When they talk about their contribution to the relationship, everything involves spending money.
