Is the gender grooming gap costing you?💄 Turns out, long-standing societal expectations of a woman can cost you a small fortune in salary, cash and time 💸 That’s because a study found that physically attractive workers have higher incomes than average-looking workers - but that this correlation disappears when controlling for grooming in women 🤦🏽♀️ In other words, if women purchase the right clothes, makeup and haircut, higher wages are more within reach💰 But in an industry worth over half a billion dollars, looking ‘good’ doesn’t come cheap✖️ In fact, a 2017 study by GroupOn found that the average women spends $250k in her lifetime on skincare and makeup 💋 So it seems that looking pretty is an expensive business, but yet not doing so really can cost you financially. I want to know, how has the gender grooming gap impacted you in your life? Tell me 💬 #gendergap #societalnorms #womenandmoney

Feeling the pinch every payday? Here are 5 payday tips to make a habit out of! 👏 💸Don't be afraid of your bank balance. By checking this regularly you can ensure that all payments have gone out on time and that everything is as it should be. 💸 Review the ins and the outs. Has your income or outgoings changed recently? Once you get a grip on money in vs money out, you can see where you spend the most money and if you can set any more back for a rainy day or if you need to reign it in a little. 💸Think about the month ahead. See any dates in the diary that might end up as big spends? For instance, you might think you need a new outfit for a special occasion or your holiday calls and you're dreaming of Duty Free. 💸On the subject of #2, you don't always need new. Instead of buying on a new look, is there a way that you can re-work your current wardrobe to save on spending? 💸Pay off your credit card in full where possible, as soon as you're paid. This can help to boost your credit score and create a healthy habit of keeping your bank balance at a manageable level. Money shouldn't have to be complicated.
