It’s hard to argue the fact that women face certain challenges when it comes to investing, the greatest of which is the ever-present wage gap. Women earn 5% less on average than men who are in the same positions — and in some professions, they earn up to 28% less than their male counterparts. Throw in the fact that women are more likely than men to take a break from the workforce (typically to care for children or other family members), and it’s no wonder so many women struggle to keep up with men financially.
