Women are better investors than men but they aren't getting rich. Women control family spending but families are in debt. A woman's average retirement income will be 56 percent less than a man's income. Women lose over $600,000 in earnings, missed promotions, raises, and benefits in their lifetimes. Social Security is the only source of income for 25% of women retirees. More women than men live below the poverty line. Your financial health may not be good right now. After all, you probably don't think about your own welfare-you put your family first. But look at the facts above. It is no wonder many women end up in Medicaid long-term care facilities. If you are tired of making excuses that let you think you don't NEED to know about money or where to start taking control; or if you were happy to give up financial control when you got married; or if you have no idea how much your family is spending; or if your salary has grown to top even your spouse's; it is not too late do something about it.
