Title Men holding the purse strings.
 
Description In some cases, in some cases the man held all the money. At home we knew two families and the wives never got the handlin' of any money, the "boss" handed it out accordin' as she wanted it and one day one woman was goin' to town as we say goin' to town, goin' to Enniskillen, she was goin' out to the bus to get the bus to Enniskillen and she came into me Da and borrowed her fare to Enniskillen, borrowed money from him because Tom had forgot to give her the money for he was gone out somewhere else, isn’t that a hard life?
