First, let's focus on the good news here, that 73% of women at least are actively involved in managing their finances and their family's finances.
So that blows the outdated stereotype that we don't have a seat at the table and we're not concerned about these things.
Obviously, we're concerned and we have a seat at the table.
So that's the good news.
We are less confident, as you say, and that could be for a variety of reasons.
But what that tells us we need is more financial education and more financial literacy for women so that if we got the seat at the table, we know we're making the right decisions for ourselves and our families.
Well, there's several things we can do.
One is just to lean in on money talk.
I know it sounds simple, but I can't tell you how many women say, I know this is a dumb question, but get that out of your mind.
There's no dumb question when it comes to talking about your family's finances and what's good.
There's a whole range of things you need to be considering.
Retirement savings is one of them.
Protecting your family should the worst happen.
life insurance policy, short-term disability policy.
That's the way a lot of us have income replacement when we take time off to have a baby or deal with some other medical issue.
So those are the kind that the long-term care insurance, those are all things to consider as you're putting your family financial plan together.
But here's the thing that women should know.
You don't have to have an extraordinary income
to have a solid financial plan.
We actually have research that says 25% of the most financially secure households with strong plans make less than $50,000 a year.
