[Update: Check out Slide #5. It’s hilarious how the percentage of men and women who bought “intimate apparel” is…equal.]
A few days ago, I asked you how much you spent on Valentine’s Day. With 1,031 responses, here’s the analysis (RSS readers, click here to see the slides).
See my other survey results about money here.
As usual, thanks to Rob from FindABetterBank (give it a shot and see how your bank compares).
If you have any particular data you want to see in upcoming analyses, leave a comment here with an interesting idea. Dumb ideas will be mocked.

Ramit,
I recently wrote an article about the best current bank offerings out there.
Charles Schwab: NO atm fees, 3% interest, free checks. You can also instantly move money from your checking acocunt to your investment account.
The article is a little...agressive...but I'm just trying to emphasize how important having a great bank acount is.

Great survey, Ramit. Interesting results. So is there anything to take away from this? You got a take on the results?

Good stuff. I'm a little disappointed that so few women buy flowers for their significant others. What happened to gender equality?

$6 for cards? That seems excessive - what kind of card costs $6?

I initially spent 26 bucks on a manny and a peddy. I found $1225.00 in the parking lot of the nail salon and spent another $200 on flowers and dinner. :)
