Issue
Financial wellness is generally defined as having habits and knowledge about money that lead to financial security and the ability to weather an unexpected emergency expense. Starting with encouraging more women to take the lead and learn to do small things such as filing taxes, paying off bills, etc. This would, hopefully, encourage more women to be independent and pay their own credit card bills. As women's employment rates grow, managing finances is also something that should be worked upon in order to close the financial literacy gap.
