Was this study conducted by broads?

Men don't spend foolishly when women aren't around, they just spend on stuff they enjoy, which to women, is foolish because it's not being spent on them.

Dames.... Ya' can't live without them, and ya' can't tie them up, gag them and throw them in the trunk of your car. What else is there to do but throw money at them

Friend of mine saved up 3k, impressive for an unskilled laborer.
Within a month of moving in with a lady friend, it was all gone.

Hrmm. "They were then asked whether they would like to receive $35 tomorrow or $45 in 33 days."

I'd say 35 tomorrow. No idea if I'll be alive in 33 days to spend that.

FNB must know Mrs.Kritter. anything that she didn't bring in the house herself is unnecessary, trash, in the way, clutter, junk, waste and should be hauled out to the curb. i even gave up trying to own my own car, as it's been made clear to me there is no money for repairs of anything i buy to drive. of course there is cash galore to make monthly payments & maintenance on whatever she chooses to buy & drive.

And this is why prostitution should be legal, pay for the action you want and send them away. The rest of the day / night is yours to do what you want. Take the cash you have left and save / spend the way you choose. Don't have to listen to the bullshiat or visit in laws you don't give a shiat about.

Men do not spend nearly enough money on toilet paper or cotton balls.

New miter saw/stand, an air compressor, an assortment if nailers, a hammer drill and a crap ton of Klein tools for electrical work.

I'd agree with this. I've never been a bug dater, always preferred to do my own thing, and have spent impulsively.

This hasn't caused me major debt, but for the most part, living pay cheque to cheque. Now that I'm engaged, I'm finding it a hard habit to break, which is quite frustrating.

No, men spend money on what they want when not serving women. If you want and can afford a Porsche, there's nothing foolish about that. Their definition of "foolish" is that which does not serve women.

The study obviously missed my neck of the woods. I'm debt free and manage to save a bit of money every month. My GF is a classic small item buyer. Not a week goes by that she doesn't buy at least 2-3 small items off Amazon.

Consequently, I always have money for things like dates and she occasionally has to borrow money from me to make ends meet. Yet it's always her who is talking about buying new furniture, buying this or that... and it's always ME who has to tell her we can't afford to just go out and buy it. But when I start talking about collectively saving some money over the course of a few months... well she can't afford that. But she can afford to keep a steady stream of hair supplies and crap streaming in threw the mail...

/Women.

I don't need cotton balls and I steal rolls of toilet paper from work.
The saving gets passed on and sits in the liquor cabinet until it's time to go on a good-sized bender.

So that's where you can stick your cotton balls.

Try beetles. They look like bugs at first glance but are much more mature.

Wow, no explanation as to what qualifies as dumb? Just, if a man buys it, and it's not for a woman, it's stupid. I've never been offended by these man-hater articles, but this one kind of got under my skin. We have finally hit that point in the demasculation of men that I apparently need a women around because I dont know what to do with my own money. What about my inability to eat good food withhout a woman around to cook for me? Or to live in a clean house w/out a woman around to clean?

That's good--let the hatred flow through you. I'm sure it doesn't affect any part of your life. Oh wait,--it affects every part of you. Bwahahahasahahahahahaaaa. It must suck to be so bitter all the time, about an imaginary enemy. I like to think about the part of your brain that has "HATE WOMEN" all over it, and there's no room for anything else . It must be all rotten inside of you, like one of those worms that crawl in your ear and eat your brain.

Have a nice life, with that big slimy worm.

Men buy things they can use and last for years. Women buy shiny things that sit on a shelf or hang on a wall and collect dust. My ex-wife had so many clothes that I had to convert our spare bedroom into a changing room.
