A recent survey by Fair Investment has found that 44% of women questioned are homeowners paying a mortgage, compared with just 37% of men.

It’s interesting considering the fact that the average female salary is 25% less than the average man’s wage. Sharon Bratley indicated that the news is surprising in more than one way. Firstly, women are earning 25% less than men, which is interesting, especially given the fact that women are taking on more managerial roles. Secondly, it is interesting that more women than men have a mortgage. This is becuase more women are choosing to have a career which enables them to buy a home.
