## Resource

Money stress is hitting women harder than men, with just 21% of women feeling confident about their finances compared to 35% of men. Half of women say they’re managing but money anxiety lurks — and 19% report regular financial stress, with 11% feeling overwhelmed. Men’s numbers are slightly better: 18% stressed, 7% overwhelmed. Only 17% of women expect to be financially stronger next year, versus 24% of men — and 43% expect to stay the same. One in five fear falling behind, and one in six already feel they’re slipping — driven by soaring living costs, housing, and energy prices. Regionally, Dublinites lead in financial control, while Connacht and Ulster lag. Older folks (55+) are far more secure — 41% feel good — compared to just 17% of 25-34-year-olds. Financial resilience isn’t equal — and we need targeted support. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
