"What sets women apart from men is the different situations they will face during their lives, each with financial implications. They have longer life spans and more checkered work careers, moving in and out of the paid labor force more frequently. When they marry, they often face a special kind of financial dependency that's not always unwelcome but can work to their disadvantage and may be unsettling. They often bear the main responsibility for rearing children with sound financial values, and they take on the added financial burden of caring for aging family members. Then, after years of having their finances intertwined with others', they face the prospect of years on their own."
