They save more cash than men, but six in ten women regularly experience financial sexism by having money matters 'mansplained' to them, according to a survey.

A further 62 per cent said they have been interrupted and talked over by a male, who assumed they wouldn't understand a personal finance issue.

Despite this, the research found that 57 per cent of women make regular savings or investments compared to just 46 per cent of their male counterparts.

Almost half (48 per cent) of women say they have been belittled by a man when giving their opinion, with 54 per cent made to feel they are only interested in spending on frivolous items.

Almost a third of women have been lectured on 'how investing works', and 29 per cent have had the opposite sex explain inflation.
