spending. And yet we still can’t say “no”.
The problem is “women please and men perform”, according to Heather McGregor, author of Mrs Moneypenny’s Careers Advice For Ambitious Women. In other words, women are taught – from childhood – that the needs of others are more important than their own. To say “no”, is to displease and disappoint.
