More than a third – 36 percent – said their partner or husband believed he was in control of the purse strings.
But, in reality, they controlled the finances and were responsible for making sure bills were paid, balancing the books and keeping on top of household spending, they said. Nine out of ten of the women questioned said they made the decisions on furniture purchases, 92 percent controlled the buying of large appliances – including TVs, stereos and computers – while 85 percent said they decided where the family went on holiday.
And the majority – 66 percent – also revealed they had the final say on the family car.
There are around 8.5million women aged between 40 and 60 in the UK, making up more than half the female population.
Around a third are working full-time and the same number are the main breadwinner in their family.
The survey found these women believe they are a trusted section of society, with around 70 percent claiming others often turned to them for advice and that friends and family valued their opinions. More than half said their confidence was the highest it had ever been in their lives, with two thirds saying they no longer worried about what other women thought of them.
Around 67 percent said it was important to be healthy in order to stay on top of their responsibilities, while almost half said they looked after themselves better than when they were in their 20s and 30s. The survey found these women have a lot of spending power – accounting for more than £92million of High Street purchases.
