Did you hear about the husband who read that women use 30,000 words a day and men only use 15,000? 🗣️ She told him well, of course that’s the case…women have to repeat everything to men. To which hubby replied…”what?” 😑
Who feels better about the economy, our sisters from other misters or brothers from other mothers? 🧐 A bunch of surveys spilled the tea and we’re serving it up on a silver paycheck platter.
Here’s Five Fast Facts on how men and women experience the economy:
- 😴 Dream Weaver - In the words of George Carlin, they call it the American dream because you gotta be asleep to believe it! One survey revealed that while 33% of men think they can make the American dream a reality, only 25% of women thought the same.
- 🛒 Til You Drop - Not only do women believe in the American dream a little less, they also report experiencing more price increases while they’re out shopping. Roughly 37% of women say they’ve had a hard time paying for essentials compared to 31% of men.
- 💰 Savings Struggles - When it comes to emergency savings, 30% of women report having an empty piggy bank compared to 18% of men. Women are also more likely to pay higher out-of-pocket medical expenses and hold roughly two thirds of U.S. student debt.
- 👷🏽♂️ Wage Rage - Sure, chicks may be climbing the corporate ladder, but they’re still making less than dudes. According to 2023 Census Bureau data, women who work full-time all year make 83 cents for every dollar men make. Full-time working moms also made 35% less than fathers in 2024.
- 🧠 Knowledge Is Power - Men tend to also have stronger financial knowledge than women. One survey showed that 50% of men report getting a strong financial education growing up compared to 42% of women. Don’t gatekeep, fellas. The ladies are listening.

With a little savvy planning and know-how, you can take control of your money and make it work for you. What’s better than sweet revenge? Revenge saving!
