Reply #6: Not my experience.

Women tend to be more likely than men here to have a college degree - the KEY to jobs with higher salaries.

The reason women average less over a lifetime is largely the time they spend away from the workplace making all of us possible.

My question here is who get "credit" in this survey for the money my wife and I have saved? It's in joint accounts. This type of survey might not "count" us at all until one of us passes away and the other gets all the money. Since she's likely to outlive me by several years, I would image she will tilt the average.
