3 Ways Women Can Achieve Financial Fitness

Women face more complex financial challenges than men. For one, women often take more time off to serve as caregivers for children and other family members, which can result in lower lifetime income and less savings over the long term. Plus, women tend to live longer than men, meaning they will likely assume the role of “chief financial decision-maker” at some point in their lives. Women are growing financially and climbing the ladder at rapid speed but the confidence gap is still there. Our experts from Allstate Insurance, Edward Jones and Melanie Radcliff CPA will give you strategies to help you achieve your financial goals.
