Money Management For Women and People of Color

For every dollar a White man makes, Black men make 83 cents; White women make 77 cents; Black women make 69 cents and Latina women make 64 cents. While the average White family has a net worth of $120,000, the average Black family has an average net worth of just $8. Understanding finance is a key to changing the economic narrative and yet most women and minorities never learned these critical skills.
