[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are lots of male gold diggers out there. Speaking as a woman.[/quote]
I have had about 9 men (co-workers, acquaintances, 'boyfriends',' friends', business owners, ex-DH) ask for money.The reason they asked was because I always had some saved up unlike them. Some paid back nothing, some paid back half, none paid back full amount and definitely no interest. Men are bad at money. Imagine what a divorce does if half is gone and no woman to budget.
I have enough now to retire in my mid 40s. I made it once I left all those loser behind. It is harder to make it with all the leaches leaching.

Women are more likely to file for bankruptcy than men. Women are worse at money than men. My mom was [i]awful [/i]with money. Never had a house that wasn't foreclosed, never had a credit card that wasn't taken away for non-payment, frequently had utilities turned off for non-payment when we were kids. All this despite being a high earner. Then she went bankrupt in her old age because she wasn't tracking her spending relative to her retirement savings, burned through a fortune in a few years.

That aside, I cannot imagine asking a coworker or acquaintance for money. If a coworker or acquaintance asked me for money for some reason, I would say no unless it was a relatively trivial amount, and even then you better believe I'd get in their face about asking for it back if they didn't repay me promptly.

When I was married, I paid the bills and did the budgeting. If my XW asked for money the answer would be absolutely not, and if you're dumb enough to give your XH money that's on you. [/quote]
