Smart Women Love Money: 5 Simple, Life-Changing Rules of Investing

YOU ARE A SMART WOMAN, BUT DO YOU STILL:—Feel you’re too busy to invest your money?—Rely on someone else to deal?—Get bored by financial talk?—Think that investing is something only men do?—Worry you’re not smart enough?THINK AGAIN.Women have made strides in so many areas and yet we still have a blind spot when it comes to managing our money. Why?A myriad of factors cause women to earn less than men over a lifetime, making it all the more imperative that we make the money we do have work for us as much as possible. And here’s a reality check: as many as nine out of ten of us will have to manage our finances and those of our family at some point in our lives. And a lot of us think that means keeping our money “safe” in savings accounts, and not investing it. But not doing so has an opportunity cost that will lead to opportunities lost—the ability to pay for a college education, own a home, change careers to pursue a dream, or retire.Alice Finn wants to change how you think about your money, no matter how much or little you have.
