You may not know this, but a lot of statistics show that women, generally, have a much harder time in a bad economy. That's right Jim. But we've got Today Now, Financial Expert, Dan Kellogg with us, and he's going to give us some to help women make it through. Hi, Dan, - Hi, Guys. Now Dan, why is it that women do fare worse than men during tough financial times? Well Jim, women in America have an average of 45 percent less money in savings than men, so they don't have as much of safety net. In addition, women still only make about 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Such a shame. - But, of course, it's also good that women are in the work force pursuing careers. - But working full time, like the woman you see here, for example, makes for a very stressful situation if you're also the one that's dropping Danny off at school, picking Renee up from ballet practice, and trying to do all the grocery shopping by yourself at the Food Lion on Courtland Boulevard. Well, as a working mother myself, I have problems juggling between you know, professional life, - Yes, - family life, Yes, the stress to do that and work more can be so great. In fact that these women end up crying at their desk when they think they're alone. Oh, that's so sad. - It's very sad. Very sad. - You just want to reach out and hug these women and pull them close to your body, and feel their hot tears on your neck. But you can't do that even though you're so close, Exactly right. So what should women do? Well, they need to put some more away for their own long-term financial stability. Good point. So women should just cut back on some of these extras. - Yes, like going out to dinner and a movie, with your ugly, balding, mouth-breathing husband. Instead, go out and take a walk in the evening alone, just stroll through the park across the street from your house, and pass very near the public restrooms. - Sure. Also, women should wear their blue silk robe more often, and not that old flannel thing. Well, that certainly doesn't cost a cent. What else can they do? Well, get rid of those credit cards. Just rub them all over your body. - Right. Rub then in your arm pits, get your scent all over them and then just leave them in a box next to your trash can. Right, so women should build that nest egg. Right, that way you're going to be much better off if anything ever happens to your husband. Like, say, he gets run down across the street from his office, - Right. At 536 Broome Street. - Yeah. Well, Dan Kellogg, thank you so much for your expertise. - Thanks, guys. And good luck to all you women out there. - You bet. TRACY INTERVIEWS SURVIVORS OF EARLIER FIRE-SAFETY SEGMENT
