In this episode of Smart Money Parenting, hosts Scott Donnell and Chad Willardson discuss the concept of the "pink tax." They explain that the pink tax refers to the tendency of products marketed towards women to be more expensive than similar products marketed towards men. This phenomenon has been present for decades but is now being exposed. The hosts highlight that simply adding a feminine touch to a product can increase its price by 30 to 43%. They encourage listeners to question the cost of products and not simply accept the status quo. This episode aims to raise awareness about the pink tax and empower consumers to make informed financial decisions.
