I was surprised to find in this day and age that yes, women are still paid less than men, although the gap has narrowed over time.
In 2024, women working full-time, year-round earned about 81 to 85 cents for every dollar men earned, a figure that can be even lower for women of color.
Also, 58% of women do not have a 3 to 6 months of emergency funds.
56% do not track their expenses to manage spending.
Over 56% of GenX and Boomer women nearing retirement have under $100,000 saved.
Women are also losing ground on retirement savings in 2020 only 48% had less than $100,000 in retirement savings. In 2024 the percentage saved increased to 76%.
