It will be very interesting to see the younger generations of women age single, and alone, with no families of their own. Will they have enough saved for retirement? How will they make it? I have an older female relative -- single, childless, early 70s -- living in another relative's garage because they lost their job. Can't find another one that covers the bills, now health is failing. Without the help of nieces and nephews, she might be on the streets.

Someone in her 70s now was growing up in a time when women couldn’t have credit cards in their own names or bank accounts without the signature of male relatives.

A woman now has an equal or better chance of being financially stable in her old age as a man. She certainly won’t be childless without one unless she chooses to be. The idea of an old maid living in poverty, a burden on relatives, is an anachronism.[/quote]

Exactly. Many more women own homes in the United States than men, and that’s WITH the wage gap and discrimination. Women are much more financially responsible than men[/quote]
And yet, the Pew Research Center offers another theory -- one that is actually based in fact, not unsubstantiated, self-aggrandizing fiction:

[i]The homeownership edge that single women have held over single men is due more to their numbers than their economic power. This is especially true among older Americans, who are more likely than younger people to own a home. About 70% of single household heads ages 65 and older own their home, compared with 44% of single household heads ages 35 to 44.

Among households headed by an unmarried person age 65 or older, about 6 million more are headed by women than men. Looked at another way, a third of all single women household heads were at least 65 years old in 2022, while only 22% of single men household heads were in that age group. This may be because women in the U.S. tend to live longer than men. (Single Americans in this analysis include those who are widowed, who tend to be in older age groups.)

In most age groups, households headed by single women have lower homeownership rates than those headed by single men – a finding that aligns with economic considerations.[/i]

When it comes to first time home owners (which are more likely to be younger) NAR stats show that single women make up 19% of first time home buyers vs 10% for single men.  So no, that excuse doesnt quite hold up either.

Additionally, women graduate college in staggeringly higher rates than young men.  It seems women are just more suited to discipline and responsibility than men are. [/quote]
