Did you know?

The Good

• There are over 9 million women-owned businesses, generating more than $3.6 trillion in annual revenues.
• 23.4% of young women hold a bachelor’s degree (or higher), compared to 14.3% of young men.

The Bad

• 52% of women say that dealing with money is stressful and overwhelming.
• 42% of women say that thinking too much about their long-term financial future makes them uncomfortable.
• 9 out of 10 women will be solely responsible for their finances at some point in their lives.

The Ugly

• Women earn 24% less than men and as a result receive half the average pensions that men receive.
• Women’s retirement accounts are worth far less because women spend an average of 12 years out of the work force (raising kids, spouse’s job transfers, self employment).
• Over 70% of the 4,000,000 elderly poor people in the United States are women.
