I'm currently reading Dave Ramsey's Complete Guide to Money with my husband and part of a class we are taking together. Something that I read last night connects to chapter 2 in class, and that's the connection of the culture of gender to money spending and debt. In the book it addresses that debt affects each gender differently. Masculine genders are experience lowered self value and self-esteem when experiencing debt and money troubles while in a committed relationship, like marriage. Feminine cultures report feeling terrified when experiencing debt and money troubles. This ties in to quite a bit of our chapter 2 on culture. Here are some other things in the book that relate.
1) Men love to share facts; women love to express feelings. Report vs Rapport in our text!
2) Men connect by doing things; women connect by talking.
3) Men tend to compete; women tend to cooperate.
4) Men tend to be controlling; women tend to be agreeable.
5) Men tend to be independent; women tend to be interdependent.
Do you find this to be true? What are your thoughts?
