What this episode covers
On today’s Intelligent Money Minute, we’ll interview Kathleen Rehl on why widows are hot. During this episode, Kathleen explains why widows are hot and how the future is female. First, she states several statistics concerning the high percentage of widowed/singled women at death. Compared to men, significantly more women are widowed or single when they die. Kathleen also mentions that most of the world’s wealth is being controlled by women today. This is due to many women being beneficiaries of an inheritance. Lastly, Kathleen remarks on the number of women today in higher education. Investors, and professionals alike, should plan on working with women due to the rise in widowhood. At Intelligent Investing, we understand there is a current shift and the statistics are clear that there will be a rise in widows and widowhood. Here is a link to the book Kathleen mentioned- The Longevity Economy on our blog page.
