There is absolutely nothing that beats hard work.

Fundraisers treat men completely differently than women. As a matter of fact, many of them have the default on their direct mail set up to read Mister, and it really rankles a lot of women.
Sallie Krawcheck
I can tell you that my experience has been that the gentlemen are more likely to come and ask for the order, ask for the raise, ask for the promotion, and that the women are less likely to do so.

I would say one of the reasons that women don't invest to the same extent that men do, is because we still think of it in some ways as a male pursuit.

You have six math Ph.D. Caucasian gentlemen from the Northeast of the country, great. You put one more in the mix, you haven't added much. It's only when you add something different that you really are able to accomplish more.

Women tend to live longer than men do. Women tend to have, unfortunately, their salaries peaked sooner than men's do. Both of these things are extraordinarily important in putting together financial and investing plans for women.

I'm really putting my life towards helping women to invest, and there's a circular reference here because if women can invest and give themselves the opportunity to earn higher returns, they can start those businesses. They can go to work with a little more confidence to ask for that promotion, to ask for the new assignment, etc.

The truth is, if you are a woman saving 10% of your income for retirement, and you put it in the bank account, your chances of retiring well - living on 90% of your pre-retirement income for your full life - is 0%.

I want to buy a house. I want to retire well. I want to have baby.

If a woman waits 10 years to invest, I'm busy, I've got to do this, I can put it off, I gotta find the right financial... It costs her $100 a day. $100 a day! And if we had money falling out of her pocketbook at the rate of $100 a day, we'd change our pocketbook we'd fix our pocketbook.

When I started on Wall Street, there was pretty good diversity in those junior ranks. And you know what? It hasn't made it to the top.

A computer can have so much more in its brain that a human can.

Women, girls and young ladies tend to be as good or better at math than boys, but you didn't think that either.

If a woman is making $85,000 a year, putting aside 20% of her income, putting it in a bank, earning very little...Over the course of her life vs. investing, this can cost her $1.5 million, $2 million, $2.5 million. Life changing amounts.

We don't recognize the power of compounding.
Sallie Krawcheck
Women tend to have a better track record in investing - when they invest - than men do, because they tend to take a longer-term perspective. They tend to trade less. They tend to shift in and out of stocks or mutual funds less often.

People say to me, 'Has being a woman helped or hindered your career?' And the answer is yes.

If it comes down to your ethics vs. a job, choose ethics. You can always find another job.
