Financial Resiliency for Women

Women face unique financial problems.

The pandemic wiped out the plans for many women. Women are choosing to leave the workforce in order to provide the child-rearing and other caregiving needs of their family. Other women are working at home and attempting to balance more house work, more demands made with childcare, more demands from schoolwork, and a more stressful work environment too.

Add to this three fundamental, long-term general truths about women and money:

1. Women usually live longer than men.
2. Women tend to save more but to invest less.
3. Ultimately, this compounds, and women tend to have less money than men.
