Money & the Breadwinner

What is it like to be the woman who earns the most?

Women on the series talk openly about being the breadwinner — the pride in it, the pressure of it, and how differently it lands with a partner than anyone expects. Several describe starting out with no financial independence at all, and name money as one of the main reasons their marriages ended. The lesson they repeat: financial literacy is not a luxury, it is protection.
