Women massively lie about their salary and this is why

There is something going on. It has everything to do with money. We all lie about our income, as research shows.

Even to our partners. No, especially to our partners. But men do it just a bit differently than women.

Because yes, it won't surprise you: men like to exaggerate and inflate their salary a bit. About 2500 euros a month quickly becomes a generous 2600 euros a month. Joe. No one sees the bank account anyway, so why not? Women who actually earn more than their man prefer to talk a bit less about their monthly money. Married women say they earn 1.5 percent less per month than they actually do. A 2500 euro per month quickly becomes a 2400 euro per month. And men? They add 2.9 percent to their salary. Incredible, in a way. Because women, come on: you should be proud of your salary, for which you work hard?

Yet it is well explained according to psychologists. Women who earn more than their partner feel uncomfortable about it because in their eyes it is still the tradition that a man is the breadwinner. They don't want to surpass him in that or make him feel like he ’isn't a good man‘. In other words: it has everything to do with his ego. Which they do not want to hurt. A bit old-fashioned, but yes, the primal instinct of a man is that he provides for the bread on the table. But times change and that's a good thing. Women are increasingly highly educated and in a quarter of marriages, a woman earns more money than her man. It even has an official name and then you know it's serious worldwide: manning up and womaning down.

What do we think about that? Well, let's just be honest from now on, because lying about money is a waste of your time. And energy. No need for it either, because if you have a great man, he will also give you the world. And then he doesn't care about that extra 1.5 percent salary. How nice is it when you can buy your own Chanellie? Exactly. Go for it and even if you earn double what he earns: you undoubtedly made that yourself. Be proud.
