Women and Money
A Harris Poll taken earlier this year showed people aged 45-54 (Gen X) believed they were least likely to see wealth as an achievable goal.
Yet, new data from the Fed Reserve Stated Gen X gained more wealth during the pandemic than any other generation increasing their aggregate net worth by 50% from the first quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021.
