Latest results from the Australian "Wellbeing Index" indicate that inflation makes women sick and than men are, apparently, crazy. Although women's health has traditionally been better, everyday economic realities are taking their toll. Says Professor Bob Cummins, "Females are the front-line purchasers, which makes them more sensitive to the actual cost of things...When there's not enough money, it affects their wellbeing very quickly.'' He adds that, in addition to being less aware of day-to-day budgeting, men "are also commonly under false impressions that wages are rising rather than remaining steady or declining." Who are these men, and can we plz work for them? Kthxbai. [News.com.au]
