FinFit releases a new podcast episode on Women's Financial Stability.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Only 57% of adults in the U.S. are financially literate, according to S&P's Global FinLit Survey in 2016. And, while efforts across the country are aiming to improve this percentage with financial literacy courses becoming a required part of the high school curriculum, financial literacy, and financial stability, particularly amongst women, continue to be just out of reach.

So, how are targeted initiatives helping to improve women's financial stability and change the way women spend, save, borrow, and plan?

On the latest episode of the SECURE podcast, host and FinFit's Chief Innovation Officer, Charles Lattimer, welcomes the VP of Financial Education at Virginia Credit Union, Cherry Dale, to talk about financial stability for women in the workforce, and what programs targeting women help meet their specific needs and increase literacy on financial stability.

"When we think about financial wellness, everyone's on their own path and it's so individual. The pandemic really created, I think, a particular environment for people to step back and reassess where they were with their finances. The uncertainty, especially with their finances, can cause people to be open to help and guidance on their financial journey", explained Dale.
