Also True for Medical Professionals?
Statistics show that men and women handle money differently. While there are exceptions to every rule, men generally are better prepared for retirement, are more willing to put money into savings, pay off credit card balances in full and are more educated about investing. Men are also more prepared for unemployment, which is fortunate because there are more unemployed men than women in the U.S. and the growth of the unemployment rate for men is currently outpacing the unemployment rate for women.

The Truth About Work / Life Balance
Most of us strive to achieve a balance between our professional and personal lives. The key question: Is such a balance possible?
There are numerous pieces of advice, articles and books devoted to the concept of work / life balance. It’s something that most Americans strive to achieve.
