Understand Why You’ve Been Silent

Best Friends Talk About Money

…or do they? Two female friends chat about what they do and don’t tell each other. Spoiler alert: personal finances have NOT been up for discussion.

Women have made significant advances in the workplace: attaining higher levels of education, taking on more managerial roles and owning more businesses. Despite these advances, women continue to face a much greater challenge than men when it comes to long-term financial security.

Prudential research has shown that the retirement account balances of female employees are, on average, a third lower than their male counterparts. In fact, 44% of American women have no life insurance at all, while many others are underinsured1.

Talking about personal finances with relatives, friends or a licensed financial professional is a great way to start a journey toward owning your future.
