Gender Money Messages

While money itself is something we exchange for something we want or need, there is so much emotion attached to it. We are taught from a young age to believe that money is the thing that we all need in order to live a happy life. And, while money does enable a more comfortable life, we aren't actually taught about it, and the messages we are fed are often very gender biased. Men are told to invest, take on risk, grow wealth.  Women are more likely to be told to save money, budget, don't take risks.  The end result becomes very different for men and women, plus women take time out of the workforce to raise children, so they are even further behind financially. In this episode I talk about ways we need to start changing this.
