Women are more stressed about the potential loss of a partner’s income
Finally, despite the advances women have made in the workforce in recent decades, many of them still rely on a partner’s income. When it comes to caregiving, traditional gender roles continue to exist, said Ginger Dean, a psychotherapist and the founder of the women’s financial education website Girls Just Wanna Have Funds.
“Women feel especially stressed about household debt because it’s added to their list of things they have to do,” said Dean. “And women are still very reliant in many ways on a partner’s income, even if they have their own jobs.”
Fifty-six percent of women in our survey said they’d be concerned about their finances if a partner lost their income. Forty-three percent of men expressed the same concern.
Life insurance would seem like the easy answer to this problem. However, every financial blogger acts like advisors are crooks for recommending insurance
