Because men have needs, too

Our newsroom secretary told me Friday that I needed to get a credit union account -- today. I wandered downstairs and found the place (after talking to two people who had no idea what I was talking about). However, I already have direct deposit for my paycheck at work at a bank. So, why would I need a separate and second account for money from work? For a secret slush fund, it turns out. In Korea, women generally do the books. So, at our paper, at least, the men are given this "credit union" account for all extra money: bonuses, overtime, holiday pay, whatever. And their wives don't have a clue.
