Keynote - How to Thrive in a Relationship when You’re the Richer Half
A revolution is under way: The percentage of breadwinning women—young and old, married and single—has been growing exponentially for decades. Today, women under 30 are making more than men in nearly every major city in the country, and the number of married couples across every age bracket with top-earning wives is four times greater than it was four decades ago. But this shift has serious complexities if you’re that woman or that female client, not only are you less likely to get married, but if you do, chances are you’ll be unhappy, feel pressured to work fewer hours, take on the lion’s share of housework and childcare, and heighten your risk of getting divorced. Your marriage is also uniquely vulnerable to infidelity on both sides. And if you’re single, good luck dating.
Enter CNET Money Editor at Large, host of the Webby-awarded podcast So Money (and breadwinner) Farnoosh Torabi, who has written When She Makes More, the ultimate guide to managing and successfully navigating the emotional, social, and financial terrain created by this new economic order.
In her discussion, she will reveal counterintuitive strategies and new research that tackles head-on the challenging issues surrounding relationships where she (advisor or client) brings home the bigger paycheck.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the underpinnings of the emotional challenges with money and breadwinning
- Level the financial playing field and feel like equally valued financial contributors
- Maintain financial independence while also sharing money goals
