  "account": "A recent survey reveals that women are more concerned about financial security in retirement compared to men. Forty-seven percent of women express significant or very significant worry over their future finances, while only 35 percent of men feel the same way. This finding comes from an online survey conducted on behalf of the independent financial advisor Finanztip.\n\nThe survey also highlights that financial uncertainty isn't just about the future; many women lack the financial flexibility to save more. Nearly 45 percent cite a lack of money as the biggest obstacle. Nearly one in four women (26 percent) have less than €50 or nothing left to save, invest, or put aside each month after regular expenses. Among men, 36 percent admit they cannot afford to make financial plans for their future due to insufficient funds. Twenty-one percent of women have less than €50 or nothing left to save each month.\n\nWhen asked about the main factors affecting their financial situation, rising living costs top the list for women (51 percent), followed by insufficient income (36 percent) and debt (22 percent). Even the number of working hours impacts women: 15 percent believe that part-time or reduced working hours affect their financial status. This is compared to 7 percent of men. Young women are particularly uncertain about their finances; only 37 percent of those aged 18-29 feel secure about personal finances, while 55 percent of men in the same age group feel secure.\n\nWhat would help women when planning their financial future? According to the survey, 37 percent say they need more financial flexibility. A fifth wish for understandable explanations (20 percent), and 17 percent want easy step-by-step guides. \"Women don't need other financial products, but they want clear guidance that takes into account their personal situation, such as parental leave, part-time work, or their own pension,\" says Finanztip CEO Mirjam Mohr. The representative survey polled 3,049 individuals aged 18 to 74, including 2,000 women and 1,049 men, conducted by market research firm Innofact from July 16 to July 31, 2026.",
