Nothing you said is based on anything but your opinion. You say women can't save, but men adapt and will save. Based on what? The data says young people in general are not saving money. And yet given that women are graduating at higher rates, they will be in a better position financially 30 years from now. There are plenty of successful 50 year old single women, I'm not even sure what you're talking about. If these women handle their business they'll be fine. If they don't, they won't. But given that the rate of homelessness amongst people with a college degree is LOW as fukk I'd say they'll be fine on average.
The rise of lonely, childless men is troubling because it's a historical indicator for state unrest. Best way to combat that is education. That degree will keep you off the streets.
Women are graduating at a higher rate than men, well there are more women on this earth than men, women outnumber men on this earth, but let's take what you said about women graduating at a higher rate, women are also receiving more college debt than men.
Women are accumulating more debt coming out of college too, let's add that in, those numbers can be found, not my opinion. Also, women are graduating in what programs?? Are these women graduating in STEM programs compared to men? No. They have the opportunity to enroll into these programs, but yet they are not enrolling into these programs that pays. Women are graduating in Humanities and other programs which puts the average woman coming out of college at the average 34k salary mark for black women. It may be 36k for black women
Most women are teachers, and we know teachers don't get paid at all and from the looks of things won't be getting paid.
The other big workforce group of women are "traveling" nurses or in the medical field.
17 percent of black women earn 50k
9 percent black women earn 75k
26 percent of black women earn over 50k or more
74% of black women earn 50k or less
In 30 years are you telling us that women (black women) the 74% of black women that earn less than 50k will increase in 30 years? How when 74% are making less than 50k? Who is giving this group raises and who will be paying these so call 'new graduates' that you speak of that are coming out of college when they are not majoring in field that pays the big bucks? Don't let the media pump your head
I agree that there are successful 50-year-old black women, I don't know about plenty as you are putting it, if we are going by those numbers I just posted, 74% of black women are not making over 50k, so I don't know if you are thinking these 50-year-old women are out here making 100k or more. The % of black women making over 6 figures is small. Very small. 9% of black women make over 75k.
If you are speaking about a "younger" demographic then I can agree, 18-25, I don't know too many young folks, men or women that save money, but as we get older, I find that more men tend to start saving and putting things up while women are spending,
It's a known fact that women are consumers, most companies target towards women and single women are the biggest spenders in this country.
Homeless doesn't care if you're a college graduate, HS graduate, drop-out or PHD, if you go around this country, there are men who are homeless due to whatever circumstances that placed them into that position, loss of job, anything that placed those men into that position.
Having a degree doesn't exempt you from getting your house taken away from you or anything else. I'm not sure why you are projecting that a college degree is something that may keep you from becoming homeless. Many of those homeless people, I'm sure some of them are, HS graduates, college graduates.
Funny that you are saying that the rise of lonely men is up-ticking but yet you are not focusing on the rise of lonely women, again as I stated in my earlier post, men can live alone, women can't, this world is not set for women to live alone.
3 out of 4 women won't be married.
There are 2 million less black men than women, but black men are married, have 847,000 more marriages than black women
Black men are more married than black women.
There will be more lonely women than men, even if every man was to marry every woman, there will still be leftover women in all races.
Musical Chairs. Someone will not have a chair. The men who have resources and connects will always have someone racing to sit down in their chair.
