I was in the jewelry biz, mostly custom design but I had things in the showcase to sell too. Couples would come in and men would want to buy their wife something and often women would be the one to nix the sale. I would get so frustrated but then someone wiser than me said women often had better knowledge of their finances, they knew if they could afford it or not. So many dynamics at play, women feel they don’t deserve it, men want to treat them, feel like the big shot. People are strange for sure.
I finally learned to ‘not spend other people’s money’. It works all ways, don’t push them to spend, or overspend, or underspend!
