Gen Z - Male saving more!!!

I travel a lot and meet many people while traveling. Foreigners as well as Indians. That's the best part. It helps to learn about foreign culture and also explore my mind while traveling places.

But I have 1 thing in common with Indian girls nowadays.

Most genz Male have saved in 6 to 8 digits at age 29-30 but most girls don't give a damn...they are really living yolo life and doing international trips, buying useless gadgets, mindless shopping bla bla...

Basically, I want to ask-

Is it just male responsibility to think about future plans and have enough cash flow to not get in the debt trap of home car etc or should women also think like this?

PS - Above statement is for most of women and not all, so dunno take it personally.

Comment your views in detail...am all ears!

That's soo true, have been seeing this a lot. If you had posted this on Twitter, fake feminists would have kicked your ass. Girls of my age are doing cafe hopping, roz daaru, cute things shopping etc and living paycheck to paycheck and are getting offended when someone mentions the reality about diversity hiring.

A few of my friends are working their ass off 12-13 hrs a day, so that they can support their family but, to the society, the girl seems successful and gets respect. But its okay,
Slowly....but....eventually 💪 we'll get there, we'll make it happen

It's caused only by More Men who are readily available to marry financially broke woman, most likely not the case vise versa, Women won't even consider a brokie for relationship, it is what it is for india.

If you've been to Phillipines or Thailand, in their culture groom pays brides parent if she's financially well off, otherwise broke girls don't find good grooms.

The girls saving money are not essentially traveling like you. They are at home hahaha. I am 29F with total saving of 1 crore.
In today's generation, if a girl wants a good life she has to earn and save simple as that. One person salary is not enough for sure.
Also, don't trust ppl blindly what they say.
Like I travel a lot internationally but I get free flight tickets. Now others who see my pics n all might feel I am spending alot but that's not the case.

Also, few things to add
When boys starts to earn there is a responsibility that he has to help his dad for home loan/home construction. This is not the case for girls. We have been following the culture where boys inherit the family property.
When girls want to invest in property and all all their family usually says do it after marriage. This is how typcial Indian family mindset is. And I am not saying this just abt me but all my female friends have money similar to me but they are not investing any where.
Also, boys might feel that working girls get lot of respect and all but it's not the truth. Everyone will brag that my daughter/daughter in law works in blah blah. But at home our jobs our non existence.
Like once I got very stressed at work and I shared with family and they were like leave job. Like they will never say the same thing to their son. So guys ppl do boys vs girls everywhere but nothing is rosy.
From start the responsibility of earning money was given to boys.
One more example. I saw a post by guy that he was stressed abt his marriage expenses. He was saving n all for functions and all. But for girls it's our parents fund it usually. So obviously in this case boy n girl father will b more stressed compared to the girl who is getting married

There is a good amount of truth to this. Marrying such girl will make it scary for someone who has grown from 0.

Your observation might also have sample bias. But I agree that anyone would infer the same.

My possible reasons:

  1. Indian girls who are bold and independent enough to travel come from financially well off families and wont need to save as much. (Sample bias)
  2. Gender agnostic: If they are an only child, their parents usually are financially better off (adjusted for similar incomes) and offer the financial safety and luxury to them. Girls who are only-child have a lot of financial cushion
  3. General awareness: Guys socialise a lot within other guy circles, family elders, office folks where financial topics are discussed. Most Gals are disadvantaged and have less access to such discussions and become shy abt these topics too. Hope this changes with the finfluencer culture on Youtube. Finance is a male dominated discussion atleast for now

How are they genz if they are 30? 30 means u r born in 1994 i.e. millennials.

GenZ men like these kind of girls only, who spents lots of money on shopping, fashion, and trips.

It's very easy to impress a boy for a girl by showing all this materialistic things to a man. 90% boy judge female by their looks not by her brain.
