Men And Women 1

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M Men and women are different when it comes to saving money.  And there’s another difference.  When overseeing their investments, especially stock investments Men are prone to overconfidence in investing.  Men traded 45% more than women reducing their net returns by 2.65%

V We remember the stock that increased, not that decreased.  Spouses benefit working together, overseeing their investments together financially and being knowledgeable for the unexpected.  And it’s another connection that strengthens marriage. 

M At least in time.  Lots of communication, mutual learning, a good thing.
