FAIRFIELD COUNTY - Women who live alone or head their own households are bringing home - and saving - less money than the average American family.

In addition, single women have a median net worth that is about a third of the $93,000 national average.
Given these added challenges, can women keep up with their bills? Maybe, but it’s their long-term health that seems to be falling by the wayside.
