Why shouldn't women control the household finances?

Gossip from the neighbors in the community.

His aunt managed the family's money for over a decade, only to lose 600,000 in savings to a pig-butchering scam. His uncle, in his fifties, turned gray overnight and was forced to work as a security guard to support the family.

Then there's the neighbor's cousin, who used a broken phone for four years in college. Even when the screen cracked, his aunt wouldn't replace it. Yet she lost 600,000 in three months and almost couldn't pay his tuition.

Before this incident, outsiders praised the neighbor's aunt as a savvy household manager who had her husband under control.
