Women are poised to hold a significantly larger share of global wealth in the coming years, with notable differences in how they manage and grow their financial assets compared to men.
According to a McKinsey <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/financial-services/our-insights/the-new-face-of-wealth-the-rise-of-the-female-investor">report</a> published in May, women currently control about one-third of all retail financial assets in the U.S. and the European Union. That figure is projected to rise to between 40% and 45% by 2030. The analysis is based on a survey of approximately 13,000 U.S. and European investors, nearly half of whom were women.

Between 2018 and 2023, global wealth increased by 43%, while the share held by women rose by 51% during the same period, according to the report. The report attributes the trend to several factors, including declining marriage rates, rising average incomes for women, longer life expectancies, and shifting financial attitudes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Approach to Risk</h2>
Women tend to approach investing with more caution than men, according to experts cited by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/women-rising-wealth-investment-style-men-female-investors-risk-emotion-2025-6">Business Insider</a>. Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen, co-founder of financial education platform Female Invest, said women are "much more risk-aware" and less likely to act on emotional impulses when trading.
"On average, men trade a lot more often than women because they believe they can beat the market or they read something in the news," Hartvigsen told Business Insider. She added that women investors are generally more realistic in their self-assessments and exhibit greater consistency.
While cautious investing can help manage volatility, Katie Geery, an advisor at Rise Private Wealth Management, said that it can also limit exposure to higher-return opportunities. Geery advised working with financial advisors who understand risk tolerance and can guide clients toward well-informed investment decisions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing With Purpose</h2>
Women investors are also more likely to focus on specific outcomes rather than maximizing returns, according to the report. Avanti Shetye, a financial planner at Wealthwyzr, told Business Insider that women often invest with goals in mind, such as family planning or retirement security.
Geery noted that women are often more inclined toward values-based investing, incorporating factors such as philanthropy and environmental or social concerns into their portfolios. "Women often seek financial advisors who are empathetic and take the time to get to know them on a more personal level," Geery said.
Hartvigsen said Female Invest members prioritize factors like a company's carbon footprint and board gender balance, often using climate impact and leadership diversity as key criteria when evaluating investments.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Emphasizing Long-Term Planning</h2>
Starting early remains a key recommendation for women looking to secure long-term financial health. Shetye told Business Insider that women are more likely to take time off work for caregiving responsibilities and live longer on average, both of which increase the need for early and consistent investment.
Hartvigsen echoed that view, recommending systematic monthly investing and diversification. "If you do that, historically, it has been near impossible not to make money in the long run," she said.
Both Shetye and Hartvigsen emphasized the importance of working with financial planners who prioritize education and build strategies based on individual goals.
"You are never going to know everything there is to know about investing," Shetye told Business Insider. "The key is consistency, and time will do the heavy lifting."

You've probably <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjTj7uMu/">seen the viral TikTok</a>: a Pennsylvania couple cozied up inside a 12-by-12 climate-controlled storage unit, complete with a loveseat, bookshelf, and dreams of saving for an RV. "I live in a storage unit because it's cheap in comparison to an apartment," said content creator Leland Brown Jr. as he gave a full tour — music, naps, bathroom breaks, the works.
It wasn't just content. It was survival masked as strategy.
But the exposure backfired. Brown and his girlfriend were promptly kicked out. A local woman helped them secure a hotel room — briefly — before they found themselves without shelter again, stranded after their tent was destroyed in a snowstorm. "We just don't know what to expect in the next couple of months," Brown said. The storage unit may have been illegal, but for a while, it was home.

That story recently resurfaced on Reddit — not in the context of desperation, but as a thought experiment. A Redditor in the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/leanfire/comments/19ccjx8/have_you_ever_heard_about_living_in_a_storage_unit/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=mweb3x&amp;utm_name=mweb3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">Lean FIRE community</a>, which stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early, posted:&nbsp;
"We <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45027946/reddit-dissects-ramit-sethis-beef-with-the-fire-movement-frugal-fire-can-make-you-miserable">often talk about extreme frugality</a> and creative ways to save money on our path to financial independence and early retirement," the original post began, before asking if anyone had ever heard of someone living in a storage unit to cut costs.
They referenced Brown's video as a jumping-off point, and while they acknowledged the setup was illegal and not exactly safe, they wondered if others had done it voluntarily to supercharge savings.
One person said they thought about doing it in the early '90s after spotting a storage unit across from a gym. The logic: shower at the gym, sleep at the unit. But they backed off, fearing what would happen if they got caught. Another commenter mentioned a friend who did try it — and developed permanent health issues after mold grew inside the leaky unit. Someone else said they built a camper van instead and now invest 92% of their income, while others debated whether a van or a storage unit was the more livable option. Spoiler: the van won by a landslide.

And yet, the Lean FIRE crowd had one thing the next group didn't — a choice.
Over in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless/comments/1gqopor/living_in_a_storage_unit/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=mweb3x&amp;utm_name=mweb3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">separate homeless subreddit</a>, the same topic came up, but the tone was strikingly different. One 25-year-old woman, who had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45726929/shaqs-dad-once-showed-him-a-homeless-family-and-said-im-tired-of-you-spoiled-rich-athletes-who-dont-perform-and-blame-it-on-pressure">recently lived in her car</a>, wondered aloud if storage unit living was a viable fallback. Her unit was under $100 a month, had no cameras or ceilings, and barely saw any foot traffic. She figured she could climb over the wall at night, pull her ladder up, and stay hidden. "With some supplies and a ladder to get in undetected, it seems feasible," she wrote.
Another commenter chimed in: "I did it. Spent most of my days at the library. Good shelter it was." That lasted six months — until a camera caught them during business hours. Others offered tactical advice: keep a story ready in case staff confront you, scout facilities without lock checks or cameras, and stay mobile to avoid eviction.
One user offered an unusual alternative — a 24/7 coworking office. For $300 to $700 a month, they said, you could sleep in a private office, shower at the gym, use free internet, eat bagels and coffee on company dime, and blend in with night owls. Another said, "Seems like it would be easier to sleep or even take up residence in an abandoned house." A few mentioned rotating between a gym, car, rest stop, and storage unit to avoid suspicion.

One person confessed they had done it before and got caught. "They saw it was unlocked and just randomly opened the door," they said. "It was legit one of the most embarrassing things that's ever happened to me."
According to the <a href="https://nationalhomeless.org/guest-post-living-storage-unit-common/">National Coalition for the Homeless</a>, storage unit living is more than just urban legend. The organization shared data from a storage company that surveyed 100 homeless service providers across the country's 50 largest metro areas. Of the 41 organizations that responded — collectively serving over 120,000 people a year — 12% said they had current or recent clients who had lived in a storage unit, reporting 14 known cases over a three-year span. Another 12% said they had heard of the practice, though not from their own clients. The remaining 76% said they had no reports or awareness of anyone living in a storage unit.
Living in a storage unit is <a href="https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/can-you-live-in-a-storage-unit-37181149">illegal in all 50 states</a>. They're not zoned for residential use, lack plumbing, and pose serious fire risks. But whether it's a risky shortcut to early retirement or a last resort after sleeping in a car, one thing is clear: people are still doing it.&nbsp;

In the current market session, Parker Hannifin Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>) stock price is at $698.47, after a 0.30% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 5.08%, and in the past year, by 36.95%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751321278_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Parker Hannifin P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Parker Hannifin has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 28.42 of the Machinery industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751321278_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

$100 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A family get-together for the Fourth of July holiday will cost less than the record-breaking averages seen in 2024, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39023114/your-memorial-day-cookout-will-probably-cost-more-this-year-thanks-to-inflation">inflation cooling slightly</a> from 2024.
What Happened: The average cost per person to celebrate a Fourth of July cookout is $7.09,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/39634920/july-fourth-cookout-inflation-hits-record-highs-your-grocery-bill-may-be-a-shock-but-this-side-dish"> down from a record</a> $7.12 in 2024.
The figure comes from the American Farm Bureau Federation, which conducts an annual <a href="https://www.fb.org/news-release/cost-of-summer-cookout-nearly-unchanged-from-2024">survey </a>to check the prices of various food items popular for the holiday. Feeding a family of 10 people will cost an estimated $70.92 in 2025, down from $71.22 in 2024.
The $71.22 figure from 2024 marked a record high since the tracking began in 2013. Costs are expected to be down 0.4% in 2025, with this year's figure still the second highest since tracking began.
Consider that the average cost for a family of 10 was $67.73 in 2023. The costs are up 4.7% over the past two years.
"Inflation and lower availability of some food items continue to keep prices stubbornly high for America's families," AFBF Associate Economist Samantha Ayoub said.
Of the food items tracked for the report, beef, potato salad and canned pork and beans saw a year-over-year increase in their prices. The cost of pork chops, chips and hamburger buns are down year-over-year for the holiday.

Why It's Important: While 2025 costs are down based on the annual survey, inflation and rising grocery costs remain a key concern for American consumers.
The report shows the price of ground beef up 4.4% year-over-year, with fewer cattle available for processing.
Canned goods such as pork and beans are up, with rising aluminum and steel costs due to tariffs impacting the prices.
The rising costs of eggs are also impacting the cost of potato salad, which is up 6.6% year-over-year.
The Farm Bureau's report comes at the same time the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/consumer-price-index">Consumer Price Index </a>is up 2.2% year-over-year for overall food costs at home.
