Episode 59 The Problems Women Have With Money

by | Jul 18, 2023 | Podcast | 0 comments

Paula welcomes Patti Handy back today to talk about a topic both are very passionate about – women and money. Statistically, women struggle with money. There’s the gender gap (women earn 83 cents for every dollar men do), and women are often having to care for kids and/or aging parents. More often than not, husbands are in charge of money and investments. All these factors led to Patti’s transition from a financial advisor to a financial coach.

While younger women are taking a more active role in managing their money (again, on average) – women approaching retirement age are concerned about running out of money or being a burden to their kids.
People tend to be afraid to ask for help, but it’s important to remember that it’s not your fault if you haven’t been taught something.

It’s important to set goals and understand your “why” when it comes to money and savings. Patti also, discusses how important it is to have all of your documents organized in a way that your family knows where everything is located. Download the free resource “Personal Record Book” to get started organizing your estate.

Most importantly, Patti says, is to take care of yourself – mentally and physically.
