Why Women Need To Take Charge Of Their Money
Fidelity CEO Abby Johnson has been called one of the most powerful women in finance, so it makes sense that she understands the financial power of women. Johnson noted in a recent interview that women control an increasingly large share of overall wealth in the United States, and when women begin shopping around for an […]

Wine, Women & Books: Here’s To Lasting Friendships
Couldn’t help but post this photo taken last week at our September Book Club. Our Book Club has been going strong for 16 years. That’s right, we’ve been meeting every month for 16 years. That’s a lot of books! (Not to mention an awful lot of wine!) This past month, we read and thoroughly enjoyed Madeline […]
3,120 Reasons Women Fall Behind In Saving For Retirement
It’s simple math. Women are on average out of the workforce 12 years to care for children or an older relative. That’s 12 years of lost salary, benefits, and savings.

Beauty And The Beast
Shopping for cosmetics at Ulta? Congratulations! You’re supporting gender diversity. Fortune reports that Ulta Beauty is one of only 24 companies in the Fortune 500 list of powerful corporations that has a female CEO (in case you don’t have a calculator handy, that’s less than 5%. Pretty shabby). Ulta Beauty’s CEO is Mary Dillon. She’s been […]
What Every Woman Truly Fears: The Bag Lady Syndrome
Women want to plan for their financial future, but what they often see in the years ahead frightens them. The math is simple. Women tend to live longer than men. And living longer carries a hefty price tag. We have an unmarried client just entering her 70s. She has well over a million dollars saved […]
Leaving Financial Decisions Up To Your Partner? That Could Hurt You Later
One of our clients was suddenly thrust into the role of financial decision-maker when her husband died several years ago.
