Women and Personal Finances

According to a recent report from CNN Money, 56% of married women leave investment and long-term financial planning to their husbands, and 85% of women who defer to their husbands feel that their spouses are more educated on financial matters.  As a result, many women are shocked to learn the true financial picture when major life events like death of a spouse, divorce, or job loss happen.  This episode of Life in HD features a conversation with Kathy Longo, author of Flourish Financially: Values, Transitions, and Big Conversations.  She is also President and founder of Flourish Wealth Management.  She offers advice on how women can and should get more involved in managing their personal finances.  Music featured in this episode is Love Me Forever by Audiobinger under creative commons license.
