A new survey, commissioned by comparison site RateCity, has found that 84 percent of men think they control the household purse and only 21 percent women would grant their male partners control the financial matters, News.com.au reported.

The findings also showed that men are slightly more open about their finances than women when it comes to debt, savings and how much they earn.
