Analysis of the Women Perception Regarding Personal Finances

Abstract

The article aimed to map the perception of the women who live in the city of Passo Fundo, Brazil, in relation to the personal finance issues. Therefore, 407 questionnaires were applied to residents of the city, in the period from August to November 2014. The results showed that as the age increases, the women believe that money can bring status and social recognition. The women with highest salary range are more likely to have control over the budget, and the women with lowest salary range, have a lower tendency to see money as a means of influence and power.
