Yes, it's damn expensive getting pretty for you men to notice us! Adding to your female expenses, so that I *don't* get pregnant, another $20 per month (not covered by insurance) on birth control pills. Also, women go to the doctor more than men, with regular annual exams, which leads us to higher insurance premiums and money paid out of pocket for appointments. (FWIW, I pay almost $200 for individual insurance, and if I wanted a "baby rider," it would cost me nearly another $60 more per month. This is just for my monthly premium). I guess in the end, without children, I will come out finally ahead of my female counterparts. So, there's that. Female here, agreeing with (male) Debt Ninja.

Really?____1. Review the list of the top 10 wealthiest people for the past 3, 5, 20 years. Pretty static, huh? The glass cieling was cracked a long time ago. Women are making their way into C suites. And to counter your argument, we should blame the economic meltdown on MEN because ya'll aren't doing too hot in running our finances. ____2. I mentioned this on FBs blog and will reiterate it here: Women, Do it for yourself! I'm not knocking you on this point, because if a woman wants to spend to look her best, then she should do it.____3. Unnecessary? Was that 50" TV with 3HDMI ports necessary? If you know someone that buys a plastic eggbeater because it was $1 then I think you might have a shopoholic on your hands. In that case, I suggest running to the nearest fire exit and calling the cops. That said, men drop large amounts of money on unnecessary gadgets versus women. That is a fact...that I have no statistics for but I don't think I need them.____4. I am just as immature as you on this topic and I'm a girl. I think I'm going to vom. Really Debt Ninja?
