Are you one of the 43% of women committing financial infidelity?

As our quality of life has improved so have our expectations and material possessions such as mobile phones, laptops and Ipods are seen as necessities, not luxury items. As the credit crunch deepens and our grocery shopping, petrol and mortgage payments increase, it somehow doesn’t seem right that we should have to curb our clothes spending, especially as debt has increasingly become an everyday phenomenon in today’s society and you are almost regarded as being a bit odd if you’re not in debt.

Modern marriages also don’t fit the traditional single wage-earner model. Stay at home mums had careers pre-baby and their own income and increasingly feel that money and how it is spent is their way of taking control, asserting their identities and their independence in today’s hectic world.

Having sacrificed their careers to rear a family, women generally feel they are entitled to partake in our culture of retail therapy and frequently purchase designer handbags as it makes them feel like their old selves again.

Social pressure is also enormous to look fabulous and keep up with the Sarah Jessica Parkers of this world, whether in the boardroom or at the school gates.

More women than ever are squirreling designer purchases, including handbags away. Some even hide them under their housekeeper’s beds or get the deliveryman to leave their parcels with the co-operative neighbour if their husband opens the door. Never have so many designer shopping bags been hidden amongst the rubbish.

So how can you stop your financial infidelity from ruining your relationship?

Get thrifty. Ban all unnecessary spending. Cut up your store cards, move your debts to whichever credit card offers the best rate and open online savings accounts to pay your bills. Cancel your unused gym membership, stop going to that posh hairdresser and buying designer makeup and most of all, stop buying designer handbags – instead if you need a pick-me-up or a new handbag to go with that dress everyone has seen before go to www.SexyHandbags.co.uk, an affordable outlet which sells a huge range of stunning bags, from leather and suede handbags to evening bags, clutches, purses and jewelry wraps and you’ll get that fix for a fraction of the price of a designer bag and your friends will still compliment you on your new purchase.

And lastly, a word of encouragement to you all - good luck – you can do it!
