Alert: When
it comes
to money, most women get shortchanged.
As
a matter of fact, as a woman you actually need more money than a man.
Here’s Reason #1 …
Women currently outlive men by 5 to 6 years and by age 100 there are approximately twice as many women than men. (take heart the oldest living person is a woman, age 122)
Here’s Reason #2 …
You’ve
grandmother
earned 63.9% of a man’s income in 1951. In 2007 you
earned 77.8%. That translates to a 13.9%
increase in pay over 56 years.
One
of the factors
affecting the
final amounts is reflected in any leave of absence taken to care for
children, family
emergencies or elderly parents.

further
affected by a job loss,
a significant decline

tend to decide from the

inclined to decide by accessing the emotional,
feeling portion of their brains.
For women
wanting to feel they
are making
the
“right”
decision,
they may request
more information, consider
more possibilities or just take more time to decide. All the logic in
the world
won’t satisfy the woman who needs to feel
right before
she decides.

deciding
on how to get more, let Money
Women and Brains show you how to tap into the
natural brilliance of your feminine brain.
After
all,
why not go to the source
- your feminine brain, the one who knows you better than anyone else.
