Single Women & Money: How to Spend, Save...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

I have some shocking info to share with you. Data shows that almost all women will be single at some point either later in life or in the earlier years. Whether it’s being married and getting a divorce, being married and being widowed, or never getting married, if you’re a woman listening, buckle up for singlehood. And, unlike dual-earning couples, many of America’s 66 million unmarried women survive on one income. Yep, I know, mind blown, right? Of course, women earn less and are more at risk when things like the current levels of inflation spike up. What this means is that we have to be smarter with how we save, spend and invest our money. Margaret Price and Jill Gianola have written a great book called, Single Women & Money detailing everything you need to know to live well on your income. These powerhouse women are guests on this episode and share why the money situation for single women differs greatly, how the economy impacts single women more intensely, financial resources for single women in hardship, and key money steps to take in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and so much more. Let’s jump into the conversation.
