Women either have a great relationship with money, or it's a disaster. With approximately 40 million baby boomers coming into retirement in America alone, the question that I have asked myself over and over again is: Are they ready? Women work their whole lives to earn their pay and make their way, all while hopefully building a successful marriage and having children. They start to think about retirement only when they reach the near-50 mark. If you start thinking about retirement in your 50s, it's too late. Having worked in the financial world for over 20 years as a financial advisor, I've spent thousands of hours meeting with clients, helping them build retirement plans, and teaching them what investing means. The most significant part of my career focuses on building relationships. For the last 6 years, I have devoted all my energy towards baby boomer women. Many reasons influenced that decision, but the biggest reason was that I had become a statistic again!! 99 THINGS WOMEN WISH THEY KNEW BEFORE PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT is your easy-to-read, easy-to-understand pocket coach to inspire you to do more for yourself where money is concerned! Get smart about your money!
