Nothing to do with this, but in many country's where the Man does the money earning, 40% of the wage goes to the family, the rest is spent on himself. If the Lady is working 90% of the wage goes to the family, 10% on herself!

Wonder what that stat would be for Australia? Bout the same i guess
Blokes like cars, boats etc.
Girls like books and magazines?! haha
