The traditional household financial dynamic is undergoing a significant shift. Statistics show that women are increasingly taking on the role of primary breadwinner. A recent Pew Research study indicates that 16% of married couples now have a wife who out-earns her spouse, a threefold increase since the 1970s (1).
This is fantastic news, highlighting the growing economic power and success of women. However, navigating finances as a high-earner presents unique challenges and opportunities.
