Yesterday I was at the mall with Captain Jelly Belly. We were on the elevator when a woman and (I’m guessing) her mother got on. They were talking about a friend of hers who wanted to get married, but whose boyfriend was broke, so she had to hound him to save up enough money to buy her a ring, and then she paid for the wedding and a house downpayment herself.

They were saying that they thought that in general, it’s hard for men to save money, compared to women. I didn’t think that was true at all. I don’t like it when people make sweeping men/women generalisations.

But they got off the elevator before we could get into it.
