Financial Tips for Women Link
Ask the Advisor put together a list of 17 Important Financial Tips for Women. It’s a great comprehensive list.
The one tip I would add is “Take Care of Yourself.” So many women get married or have a partner that they believe they can count on for the rest of their lives. The sad truth is far too many marriages end in divorce. It is crucial that every woman have her own savings and retirement funds, so if something should ever happen, you can take care of yourself.
Women do need their own savings and retirement funds! We also need our own life insurance plans, wills, living wills, and the like.
If we’re married, the best way any spouse can say “I love you” is by making sure we complete our legal documents…and make sure that at least two people know where to find them.
