Working on buying a house, and as a courtesy let my mom be able to view the houses im looking at. This women does not fucking belong anywhere near a purchase contract. I did eventually settle on a cheaper house with lower tax rate. My mom though is convinced i need to buy a mush flashier, much more expensive, harder to maintain house. Not because its better in any way, but because it looks flashier and she feels like its a better buy. The place she wants me to buy is FIVE TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE in maintenance costs from just the taxes per year than the place im looking at.

Some.

Woman used to handle the finances for the family. They would practice frugality.

I actually held onto my father's credit card since the age of 11 and I'm female. He would leave the house to pick up milk and come back with a $1,500 saltwater fish tank. Growing up he would have to ask ME permission to get his card back and I'd try my best to double check what he was buying to stop some of his insane purchases.

My dad is also a rare case though. I haven't another parent who reminds me of Peter Griffin before.

Handling the house finances is a respectable home keeping task for responsible stay-at-home moms in traditional relationships.

Women dont belong in financial decision space

You generalize too much on few experience. Most women are completely able to make financial decisions. Also there are about as many men as women who are unable to handle their finances, and should be limited to a daily allowance.

It's an education issue. Financially retarded men and women are a product of worker drone parents letting corporations raise their kids through TV and public schools.

90% of people I know are bad with money.

If she's basing her decision on racial heat maps then listen to her, but I doubt that's the case.

Put her name on the contract instead of yours. I'm sure she would become a bit more reasonable.

There are people of every walk of life who are motivated by appearance. Not just your mother. Or women. If it wasn't so, there wouldn't be so much consumerism.

I know men who are shit with money, and I know women who are full blown CPA's.

That said my ex wants the biggest house she can find.

What makes you think men are so much better with money? Almost every man I work with has a truck and a phone on finance. There's nothing about being a woman that makes you bad with finances. Running and athletics, yes, finance, no.

Oh, is it woman-bashing time again? That's pretty popular on nu-voat too.

Translation: "My mother's advice on a single topic is sub-par... therefor women can't numbers, math, or money"
