Women spend 11% more than men: who and why is left without a penny.

According to The Sun: Niam Spence feels a real pang of anxiety when she opens the banking app on her phone. There are just two weeks until payday, and there are only a few pounds left in her account.

This is really stressful. As the mother of four-year-old Eva, Niam realizes she still needs to buy groceries for dinner, a gift for the birthday celebrant, and a bottle of wine for the kindergarten raffle.

Freelancer in PR, Niam can never confidently say that she has any savings, even with a salary as good as that of her truck driver fiancé, Steven. And she always worries about her money long before payday.

The situation is widespread

Women across the UK notice that their income is draining faster than their partners'. There are discussions on forums addressing these issues and the income disparity between men and women.

The credit company Intrum found that women spend a larger portion of their income on essential items than men and are more likely to go into debt to cover daily needs.

In the current financial climate, women in heterosexual couples increasingly feel financial pressure.

'Expenses and responsibilities'

Niam shares: 'Buying groceries falls on my shoulders, as do many other things. It’s a maternal task, as I take on more responsibilities.'

'Every evening I check my daughter’s bag, pick her up from kindergarten, and buy gifts and the like. While these are all separate expenses, together they add up to a significant amount of money each month.'

The presented news describes the financial difficulties women face in marriage and the possible reasons for these spending differentials between men and women. It is noted that some women take on more responsibilities in the family, leading to high expenses and financial pressure on them, especially in today’s economic realities.
