Growing financial empowerment of women is a reality. By 2030, two-thirds of America’s personal wealth will be controlled by women! It’s a dramatic change and it affects all of us. But we can’t keep living our lives thinking that managing money is unfeminine, or someone else will take care of it, or that we are not smart enough to do it. I’m telling you right now that you have the brains, enough income, and time to change your financial position for the better.  

— Robert Kiyosaki

“It's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for..”

Women need to do more financial planning than men because on average we live longer and retire with less money.  There is no time to waste!  The best time to start investing in your future is NOW.   

Investing is not rocket science.  I will show you simple investment strategies that will beat the result of most professional money managers while requiring little of your time to maintain it.  Once you learn how to take control of your money, there is no stopping you!

Becoming financially literate and taking action is especially important for women simply because we retire with two-thirds as much money as men, then live an average of 6-8 years longer, and 40-50% of marriages end in divorce. As a result, 90% of women are solely responsible for our money at some point in our lives.  


Women and Investing

The good news is, women could be better investors than men. Studies have shown that women investors think long-term, trade less, exhibit less overconfidence, do more research and stick to their strategy.   
Let's get comfortable investing and use our financial resources to create the life we want - for us and our families.

A huge percentage of women (Fidelity’s study puts it at 90%) admit that they know very little about investing and have yet to feel comfortable investing their hard-earned cash. When it comes to successful investing, there are only a few basic principles that matter: paying yourself first, making investing a habit or automating it, developing a suitable asset allocation using broadly diversified funds, keeping the fees low, and maintaining perspective and long-term discipline. I will show you how to create an automated system that does just that.

Investing Basics

We’ll learn about different types of investment account, various investment options and easy ways to get started. 
Most importantly, I want you to know that you can invest in your values. You can create a positive change in the world through ESG investing. There is a way to earn both financial and social return on your money. 

If you were to ask Warren Buffett (arguably the greatest investor of all time) what you should invest in, he would suggest that you buy index funds. He has also instructed his estate’s trustees to put his heirs’ proceeds into index funds when he dies. Why? Because if you build a diversified portfolio of low-cost index funds, you will beat about 90% of professional investors over the long-term. The best part – you don’t need to be a Wall-street finance wizard and you won’t spend a lot of time managing your investments.  

Index Investing

"By periodically investing in an index fund the know-nothing investor can actually outperform most investment professionals." – Warren Buffett

Active investors pick individual companies to invest in. Being a successful active investor requires massive amounts of time and work, plus the right emotional temperaments. If that’s not your cup of tea, no problem. Just invest in a diversified portfolio of low-cost index funds. But if you would like to learn how to become an active investor, there are only two rules to follow (according to W. Buffett): “Rule #1 – don’t lose money…and Rule #2 – don’t forget Rule #1”. Knowing you will make money comes from buying a wonderful business at an attractive price.


Active Investing

The way I practice active investing is by buying dividend growth companies. I identify wonderful businesses that not only pay me dividends but are consistently increasing those dividends. Compounded dividend growth is the key to creating passive income streams that over time allow you to become financially independent.

Compound interest is one of the most important concepts to understand when managing your finances.

Compound interest is the interest you earn on your interest — in other words, it’s money you earn on the money you’ve already earned.

The Magic of Compound Interest

Compound Interest

The principle of compounding makes me very passionate about teaching our kids about basic of finance. Children’s biggest advantage is having lots of time to compound their money.
