The goal of this financial literacy project, Own Your Financial Future, is to empower older women with an understanding of basic financial concepts. Another objective is to give older women the confidence to have conversations with their partners, children and financial advisers about how the finances and investments are structured.
More women than men are solely responsible for financial decisions. Yet even today women are still reluctant to take charge of their financial futures. Women are still giving their husbands control of their finances. Just the fact that more women end up on their own then men should be enough incentive for women to start taking notice of their financial situation.
I became a widow suddendly 10 years. You never think it will happen to you. That’s the point you don’t even consider the possibility. But it happens and I have more than a few friends in their early 60’s that are also widows. At some point have the conversation with your partner as it will be much easier on the surviving spouse when your affairs are in order.
