Eight Gaps to Women's Wealth...

Gender: Women and Men Earn Differently!
There are many ways to earn, but there are three trends by which women get wealthiest. Working for others is not one of them!

Education: We have Merits, So Where's the Pay?
More women are graduating from universities than men. So statistically why is it that men with a high school education can still earn more than a women with degrees? Why are women so underrepresented at the top?

Character: Women Suffer Credibility Issues
Confidence, self worth and emotions are all reasons women have heard for self-improvement. But emotions are the motivation for men as well. Find out which accusations women face that men don't and why.

Wages: The Wage Gap is a Parenting Issue
Did you know that after having children, statistically women's pay goes down while men's pay increases? Unencumbered women are earning equal pay already, prompting some to speculate that the wage gap is a woman's choice. But it isn't.

Resume: The Challenge of Time and Career
Opting out, the mommy track, and so many other buzzwords about women's career choice boil down to real problems with a fear of gaps on a resume because it means real dollars out of your pocket.

Credit Report: Failing the Financial Report Card
Getting a high score on this report card is more important to your financial well-being than your grade point average ever was. Women are more likely to have gaps on their credit report because of life choices.

Leadership: Show Me the Women!
Men are still in charge. The statistics prove it. About 99% of FORTUNE 500 CEOs are men. About 85% of corporate boards are men. Men control means of societal influence by holding 70-90% of Congress, news editor and college faculty positions.

Retirement: Poor Women, Poor Everyone.
According to two separate Ms. Magazine articles only about 20% of women are able to retire well and the biggest indicator of being able to do so is marriage. With around 75% of the elderly poor being women, it's vital to eliminate this gap.

Get Rich Because of It.
The truth about equality is that women encounter barriers to wealth that men do not. Don't continue using outdated strategies that may do men and women more harm than good. Break past barriers and misconceptions to improve your organization's members and yourself.

THEY SAY, I SAY...

They Say: The wage gap is a myth. Women choose to be paid less.

I Say: The wage gap is alive and well. The choice that women would prefer is not available -- to be compensated like fathers even if they are mothers.

They Say: Equality is an old issue that has been beaten to death. Women are already liberated.

I Say: There is more than a wage gap, there is a wealth gap that makes women more likely to retire poor.

They Say: Women should blame male discrimination for the wage gap.

I Say: The wage gap emerges when women have kids and exists even when the human resources department is run by women.

They Say: Men don't matter when it comes to women's financial health.

I Say: Men are extremely significant to the wealthiest women as spouses, mentors, partners and employers.

They Say: More women graduate universities than men now, so they have an advantage and can get ahead on their merits.

I Say: The gaps in a woman's credit report are more significant than her grades on a report card.

They Say: Women shouldn't invest in real estate because they're going to get taken advantage of.

I Say: Investing is critical to retirement, and real estate equity is the largest source of wealth for wealthy people.

They Say: Pregnancy and childbirth are part of a woman's purpose.

I Say: Having kids is women's preference and should be better accommodated in the professional realm.

They Say: Women should act like men in order to succeed.

I Say: Women should surround themselves with men who choose to empower women.

They Say: Look at the female leaders everywhere: CEOs, Oprah, and even Hilary!

I Say: Oprah is one of two self made women of Forbes richest people. It's statistically as hard to become a female CEO of a Fortune 500 as to become a Navy Seal. And although the majority, the evidence is that women aren't voting for other women.
