The 77 cents that women make for every dollar men earn makes a real difference to our families - families stretching to make every dollar count.

In 1973, women got 59 cents on the dollar; now we are getting 74 cents on the dollar. In the area of finance and business, we are at 68 cents on the dollar.

Because women still earn just 77 cents for every dollar men make. Those pennies add up to real money.

I shop more than most women.

If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.

The fact is, women don't like to talk about money, let alone deal with it. Though we're killing it at work, earning more than ever, running our households, and making big-ticket decisions, too many women still worry they'll be judged by what they earn and how they spend it.

I find the whole concept of women screaming at me so odd. It's very flattering, but I don't think I will ever consider myself to be a sex symbol.

How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?
