Retirement? We can't afford it!

Well I go to the foot of our stairs! There is me championing OnWeGo with its selfless self-fulfilling philosophies for carrying on working ...and it could be that for us lads it might just be a necessity!
It seems that as far as our better halves are concerned one in four of them is happy being a kept woman!
That was one of the shocking findings in a survey of 1400 women carried out by myvouchercodes.co.uk.  It included the ubiquitous list. This particular one ranking the items that women thought their partner was likely to pay for:

 Food Shopping - 81%. 
Meal - 77%. 
Holiday - 69%.
Mobile bill – 55%. 
Appliances – 51%. 
Household bills – 49%. 
MOT – 43%. 
Clothes – 31%.
Salon visits – 28%.
Farhad Farhadi, personal finance expert at MyVoucherCodes did express her surprise that the "kept woman" attitude prevailed today, and offered the view
"Perhaps some women get caught up in the fantasy of living a life of luxury and having a lavish lifestyle funded by a wealthy man, but I think a line needs to be drawn somewhere and women should still want to be independent and successful!" 
And maybe Farhad's last comment is our "get out of jail card" lads? In which case as you're collecting your better half from the hair dresser's you may want to casually mention another survey with list of course.This one is by  
Forbes Magazine  and it shows "The Fastest Growing Jobs for Women..."
Based on Laurence Shatkin's forecasts for the 21st century the prediction is for considerable growth in the health sector. Whilst drawn from US economic forecasts there are good reasons to anticipate a similar situation in the UK. The most in demand jobs for the coming years are listed as:
Home Health Aides.
Skin Care Specialists.
Athletic Trainers.
Physical Therapist Aides
Dental Hygienists
Veterinary Technologists
So it could be good news all round lads. Help paying the hair dressing bills and our own personal trainer as well!
