Financial Friction Home | News Release
Money might make the world go around, but as more and more women become the main breadwinners this is putting stress on their relationships, especially when their partner earns considerably less. But how much friction is this causing?
Skipton's latest research has shown that one in five (20%) women now bring home the bacon, which has resulted in rows for a fifth (21%) of married and co-habiting couples. But it seems that relationships are less fiery when men are the main provider. For male breadwinners, only one in 14 (7%) feel resentment towards their other half for not earning as much.
The implications of one partner earning considerably more than the other can mean that couples' finances become an area of conflict, but by discussing things like money and property openly and doing things like making a will, many people find their trust grows and their relationship is even better. Therefore, if you would like advice on how to manage your finances, or you would like more information on Skipton's wide range of investments and mortgages then pop into your local branch, call us on 08457 171777* or find out more on our website www.love-and-money.co.uk.
