SALLIE’S OPINION

Have you heard of the Great Wealth Transfer?

If you haven’t, you will.

The Great Wealth Transfer will do what it says: shift wealth in the US, the end result being that women will have most of the money in this country.

Wait, what?

You read that right: “women will have most of the money in this country.”

Much of this transition will be through inheritance, with women outliving men; but other drivers will be divorce, women earning more advanced degrees (and going into higher-paying jobs), and women starting businesses.

So some financial windfalls will be received with tears of joy, and some with tears of sadness.

Regardless, the end result will be the same: More money in the hands of women. And women’s confidence increasing significantly.

Our newly released Ellevest Women and Wealth Survey 2024 shows that we’re ushering in a new era of women’s financial confidence: what we’re calling the Feminization of Wealth.

And that confidence — ignited from the very act of receiving a financial windfall — has the potential to reshape society.

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH LESSON #2

The Matrimonial Causes Act was passed in 1937, giving women the right to divorce on the same terms as men. (That was the year Jane Fonda was born. She’s divorced three men since.)
