In 2018, the Financial Diet put out this video talking about unfair costs of being a woman.

The video explored six topics: impact of parenthood, reproductive health, the Pink Tax, the financial literacy gap, the wage gap and reduced financial access.

It ran about 13 minutes long…and generated more than 1,000 comments. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth checking out (there’s also a companion video about the unfair cost of being a man. You can check that out here).

Not only did I learn a lot watching these videos, they also challenged me to think, both about about how these costs affect me and what I’m doing to deal with it.

Today, I wanted to share about some of the ways I save money on being a woman.
