PC Demographic Stats Poll

Hi All,

Curious to know the PC demographics Male/Female versus age groups. I have noticed more and more there are more guys than girls who invest. No surprises there...But keen to know it on the polls.

Poll goes as this --> Gender & Age Group

The poll only allows 10 options as opposed to the 18 I wanted by the way.

 

What about younger than 18 and male?

 

Not my thread but I suggest with the 10 category limitation, the gender spilt of the over 61's should have been removed to allow the under 18's to be included, I guess the gender is less important in these age groups?

 

Legally you're not allowed to vote.

 

Great poll idea

 

31-40 category leading at the moment and 18-30 coming second! Good to see so many responsible people in this age bracket.

 

Don't have under 18 for either male or female. Under 18 can't buy property I imagine?

If I had more options to add would have,......A bit late to edit?

 

Come on guys, there are 2000+ peeps on PC. We need more votes. Only 64 votes so far!

@Simon Hampel Unless you can grab some stats . At least for those who've filled gender & age?

 

Anyway, interesting stats. So many young'uns. And I would have thought there would be more females... come on ladies....

 

Gockie, that's something that has struck @monalisa and I! That most women don't care about their finances.........you can read between the line the rest.

We have/had a school friend. Stay at home mum now. Lives in a 2m+ home, drives a luxury car, business class travel, husband is a doctor, money coming from hubby's parents overseas. Our jaw dropped when recently she said her husband was paying too much tax and his income meant that they couldn't get Centrelink benefits. What happens if the husband can no longer provide? Or mummy daddy can't???

 

They want Centrelink benefits?? And he's a doctor but getting money from his parents?? OMG....

 

Thanks @Simon Hampel ! Great. Look forward to the survey. Haha good stat that I posted it at 10pm LAST NIGHT

Nonetheless, I have a feeling that most young women have no clue........Want to see this change.

 

And also in reply to Sim... Agree with you. Only some people are inclined to fill on polls.

Btw I think the timelines/milestones thread is skewed to the younger forumites cause the older demographic don't want to be outed as oldies...

 

Yep and she called us to ask how can they get their way around minimising tax (in order to get the benefits)...may be if on paper he showed she was his secretary.....she asked.

A "friend". But it really annoyed me.

 

True......but looking at the numbers on here, heaps more young men are looking at their financial future.

Totally and I'm very excited about this prospect

 

I think you may also find from my experience from the other site ,there are a lot of investors over 61 that post that I have talked too face to face,but with this poll there is nowhere for them to vote,just like trying to find how one stops water flowing downhill?,what happens?most time water will just find a way around you and continues downhill..and I'm 59 going on 60..

 

Great idea, difficult when not more options. Give it time, at least a week, posted on a Sat night when many are out having fun, only been 12 hours.

Unfortunately in caucasian society (mainly) I believe theirs still the old days mentality that the man is the provider, woman the nurture , look at the average of women in boardrooms, equal pay etc.

Through life I've witnessed many girls playing with dolls, tea sets etc (barbie/ken) growing up dreaming of the day, their only goal, to meet their prince charming, have a white picket fence, kids etc.
When in most cases it doesn't work out the way they envisage the marriage fails, they end up alone with the kids, all the responsibilities, most surviving only on a bit of child support if their lucky + welfare, their kids growing up experiencing the example set before them, wash/repeat.

Fortunately some break the mould and strive to achieve their own financial independence, like my 18yr daughter already with her own bus and still studying, while others also make their parents proud by making the cover of API

 

Transgender under 18 here.
