Amid Recession, Women Spend Even Less

I realize that there has to be some level of division of the sexes in journalism today. That battle was fought by an older and less wise generation called the Baby Boomers.

We all need a headline to sell something... advertising.. something anything...

I will attribute the flawed title of the article to the fact that men do not budget for anything, including the pre defined catagories; clothes, vacation or eating out.

If you were to review the real statistics men are losing their jobs at a higher rate than women based on occupation.
