Manisha Thakor, founder of MoneyZen, Helping Women Better Understand Money

Think about this. Women live longer that men. Women take more time away from the workforce caring for the family than men do. And despite much progress, women still do not make as much money, either per hour or over the course of their careers, than men. This means, that unless women are financially iterate, they run the risk of not being adequately prepared for retirement! Manisha Thakor, Founder of MoneyZen, LLC and author of: ON MY OWN TWO FEET: a modern girl’s guide to personal finance and GET FINANCIALLY NAKED: how to talk money with your honey, is passionate about educating women about finances and preparing for their own future. Money does not have to be scary! Good girls DO talk about money. Learning the basics of investing and finance is not difficult. And, NO! A husband is NOT a financial plan!
