Women lose out on an average of $443,360 over their entire career due to the wage gap as compared to men.
Researchers found in 2011, women earned 82.2% of what men made in per year but in 2012 that fell to 80.9%.
And on average, they lose $443,360 over a career. That number was calculated by multiplying the average wage gap per year of $11,084 by 40 years.
Women would have to work for an additional 12 years in order to catch up with what men make.

There's a new phenomenon effecting 20-somethings in America… it's being called the ‘quarter life crisis'.
Similar to the midlife crisis that people in their 50's go through, recent college grads are becoming disenchanted with their lives and their decisions.
The issue could be caused by growing up in a society with lots of pressure o achieve, thrive and compete to be "at the top." These pressures were not life-long strains on earlier generations.
Some 20-somethings have found that starting over entirely has helped them become happier with their lives, while others continue to feel lost and stuck in their relationships and career decisions.
