Financial Basics for Women

Ladies, did you know that women and mothers face unique financial challenges?

Duh! But what kinds of challenges?

According to a recent report by the National Women's Law Center, single women are more likely to be living in poverty than their male counterparts, with nearly 30% of single women living below the poverty line (Source: "The Status of Women in the States" by National Women's Law Center). And for single mothers, the challenges are even greater – more than half of single mothers with children under age 18 live in poverty (Source: "Facts on Single Mothers in the United States" by National Women's Law Center).

Women are more likely than men to experience financial challenges after a divorce or the death of a spouse. In fact, according to a recent study by the National Institute on Retirement Security, 8 out of 10 women will end up destitute after the death of a spouse, while only 4 out of 10 men will face the same fate. And for women who go through a divorce, the statistics are just as sobering – more than half of women report a significant decrease in their standard of living after a divorce (Source: "Women in the United States: Quick Take" by Catalyst).
