Be Your Own Money Manager... now, while "he" is still there to teach you!

It may sound harsh, but the reality is that most women outlive their husbands by about 15 years.  In fact, the avareage ave of widowhood is now 56 years old!  And then there's divorce.

Did you know ~

  • 50% percent of first marriages,
  • 67% of second and
  • 74% of third marriages end indivorce,

according to Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri.

Said Linda Descano of Citigroup's Women and Co.,

"My own financial wakeup call came after my divorce.  Before then, I'd outsrouced my finances to my husband.  I realized you can't delegate.  Women have to step into the role of household CFO."

So, you know you have to do it, where do you start to learn about money and Investing ?  I have been working through a 4 step mindset and strategy session on Investing for Beginners that I've entitled "A WISE Woman's Approach To Financial Investing."
