I've met several.

Better question:

Are there any women who aren't naive?

I deal with them everyday. Some are great some aren't. They are much better these days as a whole than they were 30 years ago other than the student loan stuff. That's because more women are in the workforce and people are waiting longer to get married.

Money? Yes. If the resource is clearly finite, many women can manage it.

Credit? LOL.

My wife is. She's actually a little better at it than I am. At least staying on top of the bills and whatnot.

My wife, (no pics). Married 27 years, and I have done little more than give her guidance when there were choices to be made. I don't deal with bills whatsoever.

My better half is great with $$$ and credit.

Where the problem comes in... Sales... if it's on sale the thought is we probably need at least 2 of them.

Edit: that's grocery store type sales... not clothes and shoes

Actually, I know a lot of women who are extremely competent in managing money compared to their husbands. Unfortunately, my wife is not among those.

I do find it funny that it was a bit of a revelation to her when I told her money borrowed is money borrowed, the only difference is the amount of interest you pay, so pay off the highest interest bills first. That was 25+ years ago.

Look to her parents. From the time I got my first savings account where money had been deposited from my birth onwards, my parents were frugal with me and never encouraged credit accounts. It took a car breakdown in a city away from home to convince me to have credit cards.

I don't borrow money. I don't spend my principle. I live well and so does my husband.

We can be frugal and do without when we have to.

It all starts, though, with lessons learned from childhood.

Yes. There is at least one woman that is somewhere on this planet.

I haven't found her yet, but statistics say there has to be one.

My wife is constantly trying to dig into her stock account (where she collects healthy dividends). We actually went over her $2500 credit card bill transactions last night.. Saw a lot of DSW shoes, Amazon, Nail salons, and such and such boutique.. shite is infuriating.
