Women have a harder time asking for financial help than men: poll

Three out of four Americans (75%) think they’re great helpers, but only two of four (55%) say they’re good at asking for help themselves – particularly when it comes to their financial awareness.

That’s according to a recent survey of 2,000 respondents, which found that in general, 30% prefer to solve problems on their own, while only 22% prefer to ask for help.

If struggling financially, 36% would have a harder time asking for help if they were struggling financially, including more women than men (30% vs 24%).
