content: You walk into a bank and say "I'd like one bank account please."   Pretty straight forward.  To the point:   Opening a bank account is a purchase decision.     Banks don't do it to be 'nice'.  They are in in it for a profit.    Banks earn roughly $15 per every $1 spent on marketing - a very good return.  Well above most other industries.     Banks spend many many millions on marketing their product.    Most of that marketing is aimed at women .... too many men are too stupid / lazy / beta to make financial decisions for the family.     edit: I recognize you are being sarcastic.  But - this topic really bugs me.  Hit a nerve. :)   Not responding "at you".  Just responding to the topic. The average football Sunday Joe six pack is a retard when it comes to finances and too many women are left holding the bag when it comes to family finances. It shouldn't be this way.  Men will spend untold hours researching their favorite fishing boat or sports ball player, but they can't be bothered to do a couple hours / week of financial education and planning / research.
