Women buy more than men. What's new? I sign my paycheck over to my wife because if I didn't, at the end of the month I'd have a lot of empty beer cans and a bunch of bills. Point of fact: Women are much better with money and bills. This alone is a good reason to get married. Plus, sex all the time.
