Today’s women have money and influence. More than 60% of women are employed outside of the home. Women-owned businesses now number 9.1 million, employ more than 15 million workers and generate nearly $1.4 trillion in sales.
But don’t let those figures fool you. Women with high-powered careers and wealth should not be the only ones to concern themselves with financial issues. Don’t drop the ball when it comes to planning for your financial future, while juggling day-to-day career demands with one hand and family obligations with the other. Think of the financial arena in terms of your everyday lives.
Based on the realities of today, it’s vital that women realize the importance of having their own financial goals.
Take these startling facts for example:
· Women still earn only about 76% of what men earn
· Only 49% of working women have pensions
· Almost 70% of the elderly poor are women
· As many as 90% of women will be solely responsible for their own finances at some point during their lives due to longer life spans
You get the picture. You simply must take significant action on your own behalf if you are going to enjoy a comfortable financial future.
