FROM ‘I DECIDE’ TO DEMOCRACY
TO THE BEGINNINGS OF MARGINALIZATION
  • Lessening influence in family expenses and activities
 
IMPORTANCE OF OPINION – SLIPPING CONTROL
 
DURABLES & ELECTRONICS
  • My wife uses. My wife owns. My wife buys
    • “We discuss the brand. But, in the end, it all depends on what features she requires, since she will use it”
    • “The brand she decides. Ultimately they are the owners of the item…”
    • “She decides which variety, what features she wants”
  • I am largely a non-player
    • “Children said we will buy DVD so ok we bought it”
    • “My mother, my wife, my child all told me to change it. He (my child) has already passed it…”
    • “First, they (the family) should be satisfied with it. If they are satisfied I am ok. I can adjust”
  • Oh, I do have a role though…
    • “I discuss with friends and advise on which brand is good”
    • “My wife tells me some durable is required, we go together, she selects. But I decide the brand and the shop”
 
MENU AT HOME
  • Table no longer a battle between dad and kids
    • “They (the wives) make everything for the children”
    • “We will eat whatever is cooked but if children will not eat then what’s the point?”
    • “We anyway go out and eat (on work tours). Children have more of a say at home. They want this today, don’t want this today…”
  • Comical fall from grace
    • “I ask my wife what’s for dinner because in my house my son decides what he wants”
    • “Sometimes we also suggest. Children also know that papa is coming home after longtime, when we go on tour. But what is happening is our role is becoming less…”
 
FINANCIER, INVESTOR, MONEYBAG
Greater control on investment decisions

Role largely relegated to ‘family wallet’

But big ticket items getting democratic

 
TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE PLACED ON MONEY
Active involvement with wealth, unlike with most other h/h and life decisions
Greater need + greater perks = greater wealth need among metro audiences
 
THE EXTENT OF PRIORITIZATION – AN INTERESTING TWIST
While metro men give greater absolute importance to the wealth pursuit,
non-metro men place much higher relative importance to it
 
OLD WORLD APPROACH
They do not enjoy splurging or indulging beyond their means
They dislike losing control over their money
Metro men more likely to bite the EMI bullet, although almost as loan-averse
 
HE SAYS HE DECIDES. REALLY?
REALITY: REAL ESTATE AGENTS
