Millennial Men vs. Women: Different Financial Habits
(StatePoint) As the saying goes, “men are from Mars, women are from Venus.” But when it comes to how each gender approaches their finances, the two groups might as well be from different univers- es, according to findings from the recent PNC Investments Millennials & Investing Survey.
The survey reveals millennial men and millennial women have differing attitudes and habits in key areas, including their confidence levels, the financial products they own and their risk tolerance. More men feel confident than women that they’re saving enough for the future. And more women own basic financial accounts like checking, savings and money markets, while more men own mutual funds and in- dividual stocks and bonds. When it comes to risk tolerance, more men embrace or tolerate risk, while more women like to avoid risk.
“It’s critical that all millennials take actionable steps to ensure their future
is not in jeopardy, including saving for retirement, participating in the markets and building an emergency fund,” says Rich Ramassini, CFP, senior vice president, Investments at PNC. “Given the findings
of this survey, we encourage millennials
to seek assistance from qualified financial advisors who can help make sure they’re on the path to securing a strong financial future.”
