Women are better debt managers

Women are better debt managers
Do you know women are far more likely to seek help and advice about the potential state of their long-term financial health than men? This fact is the result of a survey conducted by a reputed financial agency. According to a representative from one of the UK’s leading debt management firms, in their experience, women approach a specialist or pursue expert advice from an IFA, even if they feel that the condition is not that bad. On the other hand, men are far more vulnerable to seeking independent help but their callous attitude towards dealing with their financial situations is an obstruction in their healthy financial status.

In essence, women express a greater concern with regards to the actual way in which they should be managing their finances, whereas men take them as not a big problem. This is also the reason why more men overspend in festival seasons compared to women.

A spokesperson for the firm commented that the need or desire for women to obtain expert professional financial guidance often stems from a scenario in which debt burden is not so significant. This in turn, causes the vast majority of women to review their entire financial position, with the overall purpose of streamlining their income to outgoing ratio.

It has also been revealed that men are the least sensitive to adapt to debt management help. For this reason, men face more financial difficulties than women.
