No secret to anyone that women are more likely to give into impulse buying and spend hundreds, thousands of dollars because "this bag perfectly matches the belt I got last week!", "that white pearl necklace is just what I was dreaming about my entire life!". But these little flaws are what makes a woman a woman. A lot of women use their credit cards for shopping sprees, going to parties, living glamour social life. No wonder that many female cardholders find themselves buried in debt one fine day. And often astronomical debts of $50,000 or more end up in declaring bankruptcy.
