(Also Karen, just eat the bagel) But why is it important for us to talk about money? 💸The wage gap: on average women in the US earn 82cents to a mans $. And the wage gap is larger for most women of colour. 💸The investment gap: 60% of US men invested in stocks compared with only 40% of women 💸The wealth gap: the median single US man aged 18–64 had wealth of $31,150, while his female counterpart had $15,120, or less than half as much. 💸The retirement gap: In the US on average women live longer than men. The average retired household spends more than $3,800 per month, so a 65-year-old woman needs to have earned, saved, and somehow increased her wealth by nearly $120,000 more than a comparable man to maintain her lifestyle And why am I passionate about encouraging you to invest sooner rather than later? 💰Because If you invested $10,000 at age twenty, and it grew at 5% (this is pretty low it could be around 8%), you’d have $70,000 by the time you were sixty years old. The same investment would get you only about $43,000 if you started at thirty, and only $26,000 if you started at forty. It’s not only time we invested ourselves but also look at the stats for VC investments by founders’ gender: 💰Male only founding teams: 85.5% 💰Mixed gender: 11.7% 💰Female only: 2.8% So in other words they aren’t investing in women either. But we can and will change this! Self education, sharing our experiences and being open to talking about finances with one another will help us all feel more comfortable and gain a better understanding. I’m going to be sharing monthly an update of what I’m investing in, how much and why. I do my investing on an app called public (I’ve linked it in my bio) This post is not sponsored. I will be doing a paid collab on my Insta stories fyi. And this is not financial or investment advise - these are just my opinions - and I’m still a beginner😋 . . . #selffunding #wagegap #genderequality #financialliteracy」12月12日 2時05分
