Women Earning More Than Partners

[From review]
“Women are making bigger strides in the academic and professional worlds; they’re buying more property than men, starting businesses faster than men,” says the 34-year-old Torabi. According to Labor Department statistics out in March, 32 percent of 27-year-old women had a bachelor’s degree, while only 24 percent of men did. And a National Association of Realtors study in 2012 found that 18 percent of single women were homeowners compared to just 10 percent of men.

For Torabi, communication is absolutely key to the success of the female breadwinner, and she exhorts others to make it a priority. Power is not in who holds the paycheck, she says; it’s in the strength of how a couple works together to achieve their shared financial goals.
