No More Excuses Woman ; Why you should Take Charge of your Finances 



It's a harsh truth that instead of taking charge of their own financial futures, many women either leave money matters to the men in their lives or ignore the importance of planning altogether. Couple this with the fact that women face different life challenges and financial risks than men, and it becomes clear why women must take charge of planning their financial futures.









According to the National Center for Women and Retirement Research, as many as 9 out of 10 women will be solely responsible for their finances at some point in their lives. The consequences of such circumstances can financially cripple many women. The numbers speak for themselves:

 
Over 75 percent of women are widowed at an average age of 56, and 1 in 4 of these women are broke within two months of being widowed.
Less than 15 percent of women who are married or living with a significant other, feel responsible for planning retirement.

Eighty-seven percent of poverty stricken elderly are women living in North America.









So how can Women be educated and be prepared to be financially secure if they get divorced or something happens to there spouse. Understanding your assets now can help prevent financial crises down the road. Becoming educated and prepared doesn't have to be difficult. If you apply yourself, it's fairly straightforward. You can turn to financial professionals who specialize in working with women investors. These professionals can help you to understand how investing works and help you to reach your dreams as well.
