Why aren’t financial planning conversations more inclusive to women?

 

What do wealth and financial security mean to you and how do you bring them into your life?

 

On this episode of the Creator community, you’ll learn how to discover and align with your goals and your WHY, to create the life you want today and the future you want tomorrow.

 

Key Points:

 

  • Looking to the future, discovering where you want your money to end up, how you want to spend your time and your life can help lead you to how to use and invest your money today.

 

  • Oftentimes in a household, one partner is in charge of daily spending while the other makes many of the long-term financial decisions. It is important to open conversations between both sides because dividing and conquering can cause gaps.

 

  • Getting wealthy and staying wealthy are two very different things. There is a change in mindset that needs to occur over time to align to your values and make sure you can live how you want to in the future.
