Recently a survey shows that a huge number of women have little or no money in their bank accounts. About 40% of women have $100 or less in their savings compared with 26% of men. As a woman do you ever think why it is tough for women to save more than men? Have you ever tried to overcome this challenge? If not, no worries. We are here to let you know the reasons and ways to change it.
Why Can’t Females Make Good Savings Like Males?
There might be many reasons why women became able to save less money than men. The survey shows about 40% of women are indifferent to reporting having less in their checking accounts. They allow easily having their minimum checking account balance reach $100 or less while not more than 28% of men do not permit to have such a low minimum balance.
Secondly, usually, women earn less than men. So, naturally, they cannot save as much money as men can do. Moreover, in many societies the women need to leave work or jobs due to rear children or to take care of older family-members. Generally, men do not take these responsibilities. So, it is clear that in general women are incapable of making good savings because they don’t get the scope to make a huge income from jobs, business or other sectors.
