LIFE TRANSITIONS
Information women should know about financing important life changes.
Family Matters
When your family situation changes, it's often a good time to think how that change will impact your finances. For couples getting married, it's an excellent idea to discuss each partner's view about money. For potential caretakers of an aging parent or parent-in-law, planning (financially and otherwise) for this possibility should be on your list of things to do. If the unexpected occurs, such as a separation or a divorce, you'll have additional fiscal matters to consider and complete.
Career Considerations
Employer sponsored plans and time are two allies in saving for retirement. If you're thinking of changing jobs, your retirement savings plan is an important consideration when deciding to take a new job or start your own business.
Planning for Later in Life
It's important for women to feel comfortable dealing with finances and prepared for estate planning and the potential of being a surviving spouse.
