“No one is going to fix financial inequity for women. We have to recognize our own self-worth, ask for higher salaries, invest more aggressively, and build our own wealth.”
Why do women need DailyWorth?
- Women still make only $0.70 for every dollar earned by men. (see the report)
- Nearly two-thirds of working women earn less than $30,000 per year.
- Women retire with on average 1/3 less in savings than men, yet live on average 10 years longer.
Money is now our responsibility:
- 40% of married women are now breadwinners. (source)
- Married women between 25 and 34 are most likely to manage a couple's finances. (source)
- More than 50% of marriages end in divorce, creating more women-led households.
- According to Womenomics, a current bestselling book by Claire Shipman and Katty Kay, women are quickly becoming the most sought after commodity in the workplace. (source)
Bottom line:
More than ever, money matters to women. We have to recognize our own self-worth and build our own wealth. Take control of your finances by signing up for DailyWorth.
