It’s crucial for women to plan and take control of their finances just as much as it is for men. When an “if only” happens, if you haven’t prepared, you could be left with fewer choices. No matter if you’re single, married, divorced, or widowed, there are many reasons why women need to be involved in their finances, not the least of which is that women outlive men by an average of five years, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Women can’t afford not to be involved with their finances. What do we suggest?
