Second, Valentine&#8217;s Day only requires you to buy for the ones you love \u2013 not the ones you simply like or just work with. Third, many Americans don&#8217;t feel the love about a holiday that tells us when to express our love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting finding was that if you are not getting a Valentine&#8217;s Day gift at all, or not getting the gift you think you deserve,\u00a0that could be a sign of bigger financial problems. Dvorkin points to this survey question: &#8220;If your partner is having financial trouble would you still expect them to spend money on Valentine&#8217;s Day?&#8221; Almost 9 in 10 respondents said no. Even the 8 percent who said yes they would still expect a gift, added that this would make them concerned about the relationship.<\/p>\n<p>If you think women value Valentine&#8217;s Day more than men, think again. Of the 45 percent who didn&#8217;t want their significant others spending anything, the split was almost even between the two genders. One last fascinating stat: Women don&#8217;t typically spend more than <span class=\"xn-money\">$100<\/span> on their significant others, but men had a wider range when asked &#8216;how much have you ever spent?&#8217;\u00a0 Fifty-five percent said they spent over <span class=\"xn-money\">$100<\/span>, and of that, 11 percent spent over <span class=\"xn-money\">$500<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>For other fun love-and-money facts, see the <u><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2373074-1&amp;h=1962346155&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.debt.com%2Fresearch%2Fdebt-com-survey-valentine-isnt-keen-adding-debt%2F&amp;a=full+survey\" rel=\"nofollow\">full survey<\/a><\/u>\u00a0here.<\/p>\n<p>About: Debt.com is the consumer website where people can find help with credit card debt, student loan debt, tax debt, credit repair, bankruptcy, and more.
