Women are more generous with their money and are also more likely to from money problems.

The researchers also at ways shops try and make us our money. It showed how stores are continually at new ways to make us buy things on impulse. It why candies and chocolate are always by the checkout in supermarkets; why "everyday essentials like bread and milk are at the back of shop so you have to through as many aisles as possible to them;" and why the perfume and jewellery sections are always at the front of a department store.
