20
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:18.079
Benita bell Anderson. I'm your podcast host and a financial advisor.

21
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:26.159
Let's go to the slides I have. Okay, today is

22
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.359
all about taking control of financial future of women. Got

23
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.959
some interesting things to share with you today and there

24
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.079
will be a download for you. Go to the Ask

25
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.319
Good Questions podcast dot com website. There's a link for

26
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:48.799
bonus downloads. There you will find a financial questionnaire that

27
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:56.000
applies to this website and applies to this podcast. All right,

28
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.680
so a little bit for those that don't know me,

29
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.480
I am a licensed financial advisor fiduciary. I've been an

30
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.159
investor coach and I have actually been in this industry

31
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:13.759
for twenty five years. I'm an independent SEC licensed registered

32
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.120
investment advisor. I do have a book that has just

33
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.840
recently come out called Money Mindset and the Suddenly Single,

34
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.919
The Ultimate Guide for Divorcees and Widows. At the end

35
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.400
of the podcast will be information about where you can

36
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.199
go find that book. Now. I went through a life

37
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.680
changing divorce and I also remarried and my husband lost

38
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.360
his first wife to cancer. So this book is all

39
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.919
about people that go through divorces and people that lose

40
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.879
their spouse. We all, no matter what happens to you

41
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.439
in life, we need to know how to rebuild our

42
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.439
life after a life changing event. I have three grown

43
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:02.280
daughters with their attendant space, elses and children. My husband

44
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.960
has four grown sons with also spouses and children between

45
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.800
them all, I have twenty three grandchildren. Who would have

46
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.759
ever thought? So I enjoy doing this podcast. I'm tremendously

47
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.439
enjoying having fun with this. I am a financial advisor,

48
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.719
I am an author and coaching clients, so it's a

49
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.360
busy life and I love it that way. We are

50
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.520
going to go through some data from a study done

51
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.360
by Alliance, which is an insurance company, and we're going

52
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.759
to do basically identifying financial personality, how that behavior influences

53
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.080
the decisions you make, and women's issues and concerns. But

54
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.879
first we have a short minute and a half video

55
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.680
to show you. So let's roll the video.

56
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:59.039
Now, what do you want out of life? What's important

57
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.879
to you? What kind of future do you want to build?

58
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.240
You have so much to focus on in the here

59
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.400
and now. It can be hard to think about tomorrow,

60
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.240
but there's no question the choices you make in the

61
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.199
here and now will shape the future, both for yourself

62
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.720
and the ones you love. There's no doubt that women

63
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.319
face unique financial challenges. On average, women tend to live

64
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.879
longer than men, accumulate lower lifetime earnings and face higher

65
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.240
healthcare costs. But your ideal financial strategy is based on

66
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.439
knowing what you want out of life, what you want

67
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.120
your future to be like, and what you can do

68
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:52.680
right now to make that possible. Sometimes we need to

69
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.879
take time to look after what matters, whether it's the

70
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:01.360
family we have or the family we build. So if

71
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.160
you know where you want to go, how do you

72
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.600
get there? First, set clear goals for your future and

73
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.600
share them with your financial professional. Continue to educate yourself

74
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.839
on best practices for your investments, and review your financial

75
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:24.639
strategy often. Most importantly, whatever your goals, remember that you

76
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:31.600
are not alone. We are here beside you, celebrating everywhere.

77
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.680
All right, So we are going to talk about all

78
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.120
of those things that you see there on our agenda

79
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.839
as well as at the end, we're going to talk

80
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.160
about seven critical principles of sound money management that come

81
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:57.360
from my book. All right, So let's identify your financial

82
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.800
personality now. I really am hoping you know, if you're

83
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.920
listening to this or watching this and you haven't downloaded

84
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.519
the PDF, please do that at least you know sometime soon.

85
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.439
But we will go through what that test says is

86
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:19.839
basically what's your financial personality? Right, So it's going to

87
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.000
identify kind of how you tick. It's you know, it'll

88
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.959
help you understand your particular needs better. It'll help you

89
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:33.959
understand a little bit more about your financial decision making process.

90
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.360
You'll understand help you understand your approach to planning your

91
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:44.600
financial future. And so again, find that pdf. It's a

92
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.959
financial workshop questionnaire. Find it on the podcast website at

93
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.800
ask Good Questions podcast dot com. And there's a link

94
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.040
that says bonus downwards, all right, so you'll click on that.

95
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.040
So if you don't have that right now, this may

96
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.839
be a little bit hard to see if you're watching

97
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.639
the video, but at least you'll get an idea of

98
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:15.040
what this is, what's your why. Identifying your financial personality

99
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.920
will allow you to better understand your particular needs, making

100
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.079
your decision making processes and personal approach to planning your

101
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.519
financial future so much smoother. This way, you can also

102
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.319
be better understood by your investor coach. All right, So

103
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.720
if you were going to use a scale and how

104
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:39.199
much do you agree or disagree with the following statements? Okay,

105
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.959
this will be kind of fun. You'll give yourself a

106
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.399
point value for each one of these statements, and then

107
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.680
you'll add up your points at the end. So strongly

108
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.680
agree is five points, Somewhat agree is four.

109
00:07:53.480 --> 00:08:01.199
Points, Neutral neither here nor there three points, but disagree

110
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.439
is two points, and strongly disagree is one point.

111
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:09.199
All right, here's the questions. I feel I am confident

112
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:14.759
when it comes to managing money and investing. Okay, give

113
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.120
yourself a number there. Number two. I feel I have

114
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:26.560
adequately planned for retirement, savings and security. Give yourself a

115
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:32.159
point value. Number three. I feel I am educated when

116
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:36.799
it comes to managing money and investing. Give your self

117
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:41.879
a point value. Number four. I feel I have sufficient

118
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:47.120
knowledge about money and investing, and I am very involved

119
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.600
in the management of my long term savings and investments.

120
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.360
How do you think give yourself a point value? Number five.

121
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.840
I feel I am clear about my financial goals and

122
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:08.919
my plans to achieve them. Okay. Number six, I feel

123
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:13.200
I am highly responsible and take initiative when it comes

124
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.840
to money and investing. What do you think? Give yourself

125
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:21.840
a point value number Let's see one, two, three, four, five,

126
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.960
sixty seven. It is very important to me that I

127
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.159
always have a complete understanding of my household financial situation

128
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:37.159
do you think give yourself a point value? And the

129
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.039
last one is when in a relationship, I like to

130
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:47.639
collaborate with my partner in financial decisions. So you're going

131
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.000
to give yourself a point value for that one. You

132
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:55.240
are then going to tuttle up all of your points

133
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:01.039
and give yourself a score. This is a two part

134
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.279
download that when you have this in front of you,

135
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:10.840
you'll find that you've figured out what your personality is.

136
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.120
Thirty five to forty points you are a financial initiator,

137
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.600
twenty seven to thirty four points you are a financial analyzer.

138
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.799
Now we are going to go through each of these.

139
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.960
Twenty to twenty six points you are a financial collaborator,

140
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:36.039
fourteen to nineteen points you're a financial void, and eight

141
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:41.240
to thirteen points you are a financial dreamer. So this

142
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.679
page does have descriptions of each one of these, but

143
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.279
we are going to go through some slides so that

144
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.200
you can kind of get a better idea of what

145
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.480
each of these is really you know, delve into it.

146
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.000
So if you've added up your points, how do you

147
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.799
feel you did? Did you learn anything about yourself? Is

148
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:06.960
it exciting? Are you depressed? Are you resolving to do better?

149
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:12.519
Kind of the thought here for me is to help

150
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.639
to encourage you to do something about this, not just

151
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.519
listen to it, but actually do something about it. I

152
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.679
want you to be more in tune with your behaviors

153
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.200
as they relate to money and finances. I want you

154
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:32.600
to position yourself to take the next steps for you

155
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:38.039
and help you assume control of your financial future. I

156
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.639
want you to realize that you are the best judge

157
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:47.120
of the accuracy of any financial description that reflects your

158
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:52.759
financial behavior. And so let's take a little closer look

159
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:59.360
at what each of those descriptions means. So again, they

160
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:07.720
were financial initiator, analyzer, collaborator, void, and dreamer. We're going

161
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.679
to start at number five and go up the list.

162
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:20.879
Which one describes you or maybe you feel like I'm

163
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:26.200
a combination of a couple of them, right, So let's

164
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.879
talk about that dreamer. I've met quite a few people

165
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.919
that are kind of a voids and dreamers. They really

166
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.240
this is a person that really doesn't have a confident

167
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:43.799
history with money. They maybe have never had the opportunity

168
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.320
or responsibility of taking care of their own money, and

169
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:52.879
they feel intimidated when thinking about managing their own finances.

170
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.000
They really lack experience and knowledge, and especially this is

171
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:02.480
really can be a problem if you're suddenly divorced or

172
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.600
if you've suddenly lost a spouse who did it all.

173
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.799
Sometimes people will feel hopeless and hope somebody else will

174
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.120
do it. A lot of times people will defer all

175
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:17.399
financial matters to a partner. So in that study I

176
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.200
reference to eight percent of women typically identify with this type.

177
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.759
They're comfortable with somebody else doing it. Please please, please,

178
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:31.720
It's a stereotypical approach in the past. It's really this

179
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.320
is something that's really before the time that women really

180
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.519
started gaining the right to earn their own money, and

181
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.399
women started realizing that they needed to know more about

182
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.360
how to control their own money. Right, So does this

183
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.159
describe you? If it does, well, we've got some work

184
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:56.919
to do. Huh. Number four is the financial avoid I

185
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:02.080
call her the uncertain searcher. She is concerned about her

186
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:07.559
future and her current finances, but she doesn't feel confident

187
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.960
enough to make good decisions to resolve her financial problems,

188
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:17.600
and she's overwhelmed by all the choices out there. So

189
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.240
eleven percent of women say that they fall into this category.

190
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:26.440
They're confused about money. There's too many complex financial choices.

191
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:31.360
They're worried about their situation, but they avoid making financial

192
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.440
decisions because of the lack of knowledge and experience. They

193
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.759
just want to not deal with it if they can

194
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.799
avoid avoid, right, So there's a lot of work here

195
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.279
to do too. If you fall into this category, well,

196
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.600
let's go up the ladder a little bit. This gal's

197
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.879
getting there. I call her the collaborator. I also call

198
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.080
her the power partner. Now, twenty four percent of women

199
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:13.399
identified themselves this way. Very balanced in life, healthy, happy,

200
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.879
cooperative in their main relationship. They are really successful with

201
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:23.840
resolving financial issues. They provide their family with financial comfort

202
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:29.799
and stability. They're all about sharing financial power on an

203
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.519
equal basis with their life partner, and they prefer to

204
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.120
make decisions as a team. There's nothing wrong with this.

205
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:42.320
The problem is, like I wrote the book about people

206
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.440
that suddenly find themselves. The reason I call that money

207
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:51.639
mindset and the suddenly single is because when someone loses

208
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.639
that partner, if they're in this situation and they lose

209
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.720
that partner, then sometimes they can feel lost. All right,

210
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:03.519
let's go up the scale one more to the financial analyzer.

211
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:09.120
I call this gal the perceptive planner. She has a

212
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:15.039
good understanding of household finance. She has taken initiative in

213
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:21.879
thoroughly researching investment opportunities and tracking financial results. She's a

214
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:26.440
comparison shopper. She's an avid saver, and she rarely buys

215
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.679
anything that she hasn't really thought out and that she

216
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:36.360
can't afford. She has very analytical behavior, very disciplined approach,

217
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.840
and this type of gal has usually worked with financial

218
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.320
advisors in the past. She is the type of person

219
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.840
that's going to want to seek out holistic, all around

220
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.080
good advice, and she's going to keep trying to get

221
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.399
it right. Though there were quite a few women in

222
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.000
this group, thirty five percent of women in that study

223
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:04.680
said they fell into the group. The thorough researcher, weighing

224
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.680
all the options, being clear on the road ahead before

225
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:15.000
making financial decisions. Probably keeps the spreadsheet of everything she's doing.

226
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.440
I do that. I have a spreadsheet for everything I'm doing,

227
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:28.240
otherwise I might forget Anyway, let's talk about that gal

228
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:33.240
who's the number one, the financial initiator. I also call

229
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:38.960
her the alpha female. Now, eighteen percent of women actually

230
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:47.039
surveyed saw themselves as an alpha female confident, optimistic, proactive,

231
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.240
really feels like she's sophisticated in financial knowledge. A lot

232
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:59.240
of times gals that are in this situation, I find

233
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:02.640
that they are like this, but they want to have

234
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.640
you as a partner because they don't want to have

235
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:09.039
to deal with their investments all by themselves. They are

236
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.839
confident in making good financial decisions, they are clear about

237
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.160
their goals, and they usually do take the initiative to

238
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:19.839
work with a financial advisor. Now, just to let you know,

239
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.000
in a couple of weeks, we are going to be

240
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:28.440
having a podcast episode about choosing a financial advisor. So

241
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:31.039
just a little sneak ahead that we're going to be

242
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:35.240
doing that to go into that issue. But here's an

243
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:40.720
insight for you on the alpha female. Often she sees

244
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.440
herself this way because she feels like she has to

245
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.480
take care of herself, and though she cares about financially

246
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.599
in part because that's the way it has had to be.

247
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.880
She has to take care of herself and her family.

248
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:04.039
Sometimes this is by choice, sometimes it's because of necessity. Right,

249
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:10.359
So my goal in having you take this test is

250
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.119
to just become more aware of where you are in

251
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.720
this process and what you need to work on. So

252
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.920
we're going to move on to the next thing that

253
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:26.559
is in our purfew today, and that is how behavior

254
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.680
influences financial decisions. This will come as no surprise that

255
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.160
our formative years really help form how we approach money. Now,

256
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:44.440
the genesis of our current beliefs in our habits goes

257
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:50.680
all the way back to childhood. It's called a money imprint. Now,

258
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:54.400
what are some things that you can hear in your head?

259
00:19:54.759 --> 00:20:00.599
Like money doesn't grow on trees? You know who there

260
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.319
could be. There's a whole bunch of things. The biblical

261
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:10.160
one that always gets wrong is money is evil. But

262
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:16.000
that's not what the scripture says. It says the love

263
00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:21.200
of money. So think about what your family taught you.

264
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.599
What lessons did you learn from your parents and your family?

265
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:33.200
How you know? Did you have a good relationship with money?

266
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.680
Did you interact with money in a positive way when

267
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.519
you were growing up or not. I remember babysitting when

268
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.799
I was like twelve thirteen years old, and I think

269
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.240
I got like fifty cents a fifty cents an hour

270
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:52.079
for that. So did that experience earning money when you

271
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.359
were young make you feel better or worse about yourself?

272
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.799
And another question is what money a source of conflict

273
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.759
in your family and worry or was it considered a tool?

274
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:13.079
So here's the thing to think about. When your money

275
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:18.119
beliefs don't support you and your values in the adult world,

276
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.559
it's time to construct a new set, craft a new

277
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:30.200
message for yourself. One example might be an old belief

278
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.200
could be I use money to show others that I

279
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:38.000
am successful. That sort of thing may lead to overspending.

280
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:41.720
You may want to think about a new belief, like

281
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.599
I use money to create long term security for myself

282
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.400
and my family. This all kind of gets back to

283
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:52.519
the why. Remember remember that you are not chained to

284
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.000
old beliefs or past beliefs that only serve to prolong

285
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:02.720
and support misery. You want the ability and you realize

286
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:07.480
you have the ability to make changes that lies clearly

287
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.559
and strongly within your power. Just to hope you'd take

288
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:17.640
that in and think about that, here's some key findings

289
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:23.720
regarding behavior. Financial knowledge in the USA is really quite low,

290
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:27.839
and this may will not be a surprise. Older women

291
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.400
are less likely to have a bachelor's degree. Women under

292
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:35.079
age forty five are more likely to have a bachelor's degree.

293
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.039
Women are less willing than men to take financial risks.

294
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:43.400
This is something I have seen a lot. Women also

295
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:48.640
wish that they save more. Women have more credit cards

296
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.759
than men. Women are actually equally likely to pay their

297
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:58.160
credit cards off in full every month. Now, the sobering

298
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.720
thing is that unmarried women with dependent children are the

299
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:07.759
most vulnerable subgroup to financial stress. And financial knowledge and

300
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.920
financial matters can be learned, but you have to teach yourself.

301
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:17.440
Here's one of the questions by the Finra Investor Education

302
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.960
Foundation was do financial knowledge, behavior and well being differ

303
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.519
by gender some of these things is a big yes,

304
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.160
there's differences in how the sexes deal with money. And

305
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:39.759
here's another thing. This is a fact. For every dollar

306
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:43.920
that you spend on financial education by you as a consumer,

307
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:49.039
the financial services industry is spending twenty five dollars on

308
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.279
marketing its products and services to you. Think the e

309
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:59.920
trade baby, think the little paper squirrels, Think of any

310
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:06.400
of the financial services advertisements that you've seen. There's a

311
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:10.880
lot of money being spent to impact where you go

312
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:17.839
for financial advice. So we're going to turn this is

313
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.119
kind of an overview today of some of the issues

314
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:25.599
that women face. We're going to explore a little bit

315
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.920
about the many different roles and issues that most women

316
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:34.680
are encountering. The biggest ones are like long term care

317
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.519
for parents while you also have children at home, or

318
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.400
maybe you have a child that never left home. What

319
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:49.119
about disabilities and illnesses and taxes and custodial needs and healthcare.

320
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.960
A lot of times women are pled in several different

321
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:58.000
directions because they're having to take care of their family,

322
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:00.839
They're having to take care of their finance, and a

323
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.599
lot of times they're having to take care of aging parents.

324
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.599
It's a lot of things. And the reason that we're

325
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:10.640
going to end today with doing some sound moneage management

326
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:13.720
is I'm just thinking, if you can do just one

327
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.240
thing for yourself, that'll be a step in the right direction.

328
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:22.839
That would be great. So families are not so typical anymore.

329
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:28.400
There's new roles, new roles, new responsibilities, and new financial needs.

330
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:35.319
There are changing dynamics, blended families, stay at home dads,

331
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:40.680
same sex couples, aging parents, moving in, children returning after college,

332
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.440
or maybe never leaving in the first place. Those are

333
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.759
just some of the examples. Women are finding themselves responsible

334
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:54.960
for long term financial needs and security. The balance of

335
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:59.839
power seems to be shifting towards women. There's more earning

336
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:05.279
power and many are the primary breadwinner. Many believe that

337
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:08.680
women in general cannot rely on a spouse to handle

338
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.759
investing matters, which is an interesting thing to think about.

339
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:15.160
And many also say they haven't learned much from their

340
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.400
husband or partners, so a lot of times men are

341
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:23.039
just as lost. But women are increasingly doing their own

342
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:27.319
financial research on retirement ideas, and they're also doing their

343
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:31.640
own tax preparation. And they're most importantly is they're the

344
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.960
ones that are usually teaching their children about money and

345
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:39.079
helping them be successful with getting started with a good

346
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:43.599
money mindset. You'll also find that most banks in particular

347
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.599
are doing financial education classes, so you might look that

348
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:53.319
up for the bank that you go to. And then

349
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:57.880
there's this interesting dynamic coming forth, and I'm calling them

350
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:02.839
women of influence. They have higher incomes, they have higher

351
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.319
incidents of postgraduate education, they're more successful in the workplace,

352
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:13.359
they're more likely to have their own business, and they're

353
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:17.440
more likely to achieve a director or a vice president position. Now,

354
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.799
the only downside, I'm a big believer in family and

355
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:27.359
having somebody at home. Sometimes in the past that you

356
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.519
know that women were mostly at home and men went

357
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.319
off to work. That dynamic has changed a lot. But

358
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:39.359
we can say that increased financial involvement has improved their

359
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:43.519
quality of life. We know that has happened. I just

360
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:47.759
am hoping that it's not at the expanse of family

361
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.160
and that other ways are found to make sure that

362
00:27:51.200 --> 00:28:03.839
the children's needs are taken care of. All right, So

363
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:09.640
we're going to go into an excerpt from my latest book, Money,

364
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:13.160
Mindset and Suddenly Single. We're going to talk about seven

365
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:18.519
critical principles of sound money management. This is not just

366
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:23.160
for someone who's lost somebody, anyone that's gone through any

367
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:28.200
kind of life changing event. It's critical. But please seriously

368
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.759
think about each and every one of these and think

369
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.920
about something that maybe you can implement into your life.

370
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:39.799
Principal number one is pay yourself first. I want everybody

371
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.799
to be thinking about this. You need to have some

372
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:46.799
savings that you automate, automatically goes into savings of some

373
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:52.119
court some kind. With my work with people that have

374
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:55.880
lots of different savings accounts and retirement accounts and all that,

375
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:01.359
the principle is to make sure that you're doing something

376
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:06.880
on a regular basis. The compounding advantage is you know,

377
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.880
if you've heard about, you know the interest. The compounding

378
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.559
interest is a great thing and it does help you

379
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.599
build a financially search your future. No matter what you do,

380
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:21.279
make sure you're in the habit of saving for yourself

381
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:27.039
and putting aside some money every single month. Principal number

382
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.839
two is getting your state in order. My mother said

383
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:34.720
take care of business now. That was her way of saying,

384
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:37.000
you need to have your will done. You need to

385
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:42.119
have your estate, you know, papers taking care of. You

386
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:48.440
need to safeguard your legacy and safeguard your assets. Please

387
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.160
find a competent attorney that you can work with to

388
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:57.119
get a will done, power of attorneys, a living will,

389
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.599
all those different things that are important because, as you know,

390
00:30:01.480 --> 00:30:06.759
people do die in car crashes, people do have crazy

391
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:11.680
things happen. So it's the loving thing to do for

392
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:14.599
your family to make sure that your family is taken

393
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.440
care of. Make sure, if you still have children at home,

394
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.559
that you have life insurance. That's going to be another

395
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:25.000
topic that we're going to do in one of our

396
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:28.680
episodes is the importance of life insurance and why in

397
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:33.039
the heck do you need that? So but this is

398
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.680
something that I know it can be kicked down the road.

399
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.119
You will say, oh, I'll take care of that later,

400
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.920
and then later never comes. So please make sure that

401
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.759
you get this done and then update it like every

402
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:54.039
five years or so. Now, Principal number three is spend

403
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:57.279
within your budget. Now, I don't like the word budget.

404
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:00.839
I would rather use the word cash flow. And so

405
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.519
we're going to do We're going to be talking about

406
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.640
some of these things here. We are not going to

407
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:10.119
get into specifics, but I just want you to know

408
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:16.480
you can develop techniques within yourself for effective wealth management,

409
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:21.240
doing that simple savings, thinking about what you want to

410
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.359
create for yourself for the future. There are techniques that

411
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:28.559
I want you to think about, and I don't want

412
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:30.799
you to think in terms of lack. I want you

413
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.000
to think about what do you want to provide for

414
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:39.000
yourself for the future. That psychological aspects of spending within

415
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:45.039
your means are critical. When when you come from a

416
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.559
mindset of abundance and you know that you have set

417
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.400
yourself up so that you are not spending above what

418
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:58.720
you earn, that is a big deal. So please please

419
00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:02.319
please think about what your cash flow is. How much

420
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.839
are you bringing in as opposed to how much is

421
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.559
going out, and please think about making adjustments if you

422
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:15.279
need to adjust. That concept. A related concept is limiting debt.

423
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:18.920
Most of you will have heard of Dave Ramsey and

424
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:25.359
his debt snowball method, basically taking the smallest debt and

425
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:28.400
getting rid of it and then move and then having

426
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:33.119
a whole system to get rid of debt. Categorize that

427
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:37.119
debt by type and interest rate, figure out what's what

428
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:41.480
and what is going on. Use that debt snowball method,

429
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.799
Negotiate for better rates if it's something you can do.

430
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:54.119
Possibly leverage financial windfalls, bonuses, tax refunds, inheritances, think of things.

431
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.599
Think of ways that you can get yourself out of debt.

432
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.319
And again, remember how we you know I'm hard being

433
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.640
on automating savings for an emergency fund critical you need

434
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.920
to have. You know, the saying is have three to

435
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:12.480
six months. I'm going to tell you I have six months. Like,

436
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:16.839
if your monthly expenses that you need to have is

437
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:21.799
four thousand dollars, then I think I need to have

438
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.599
twenty four to twenty five thousand dollars in a savings

439
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:32.200
account just in case anything crazy happened explore consolidation offers.

440
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.839
If you have a need to get ahead of this,

441
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.079
maybe you're going to adjust your lifestyle temporarily. Maybe you're

442
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:45.680
going to take another job temporarily to get rid of

443
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:51.359
something that has come your way. Alternative income streams, you know,

444
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:55.319
you never know. Use a dedicated debt repayment account if

445
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.799
you have to. But above all of this is just

446
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:03.759
educating yourself fund financial management the kind of the Number

447
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:07.119
one thing is getting out of debt and then staying

448
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:12.599
out of debt. Number five is tracking and paying your taxes.

449
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.960
Don't ever let yourself get beyond that. Don't ever let

450
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:21.800
yourself get into some kind of back taxes situation. There

451
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.800
are costs and risks to getting yourself into this kind

452
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:32.679
of a pit. So make sure that if you don't

453
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:35.400
have an employer that's saving for taxes for you, that

454
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.400
you're doing it on your own, or you're paying quarterly taxes,

455
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.920
you're doing something to keep up with this obligation because

456
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.320
it is there and it's always going to be with us,

457
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:52.360
isn't it. Number six is kind of my forte. Putting

458
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:56.280
your money where the growth is. That means investing, and

459
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.800
that is what I've spent my whole career on is

460
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:03.480
to teaching people how to prudently invest, need to spread

461
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:08.559
your investments across a widely diversified portfolio. Again, there's going

462
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:13.159
to be a podcast talking about what does that mean?

463
00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:16.679
What's a widely diversified portfolio? You want to add to

464
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:19.800
it on a regular basis, And you're going to want

465
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.039
to learn what does rebalancing mean? There's terms that are

466
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:29.119
unique to this world. Rebalancing basically means has something to

467
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.639
do with how much risk you take. So you want

468
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:36.400
to make sure that you're not taking too much risk.

469
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:40.599
If you are getting close to retirement, you need to

470
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:43.679
make sure that maybe you're thinking about backing off on

471
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.159
how much risk you take because the market does go

472
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:52.639
up and down and can be volatile. All right, And

473
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.920
an interesting kind of side note is, and again remember

474
00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:59.519
me talking to you about looking at things from a

475
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.079
space of abundance. Well, I don't want you to overlook

476
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:07.639
the importance of donations and being charitable, thinking about others

477
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.639
instead of yourself. Come at this from a space of

478
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:15.719
abundance instead of scarcity. Get excited, Think about how am

479
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:18.320
I how do I want my future to look? So

480
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:22.840
get excited about having enough to really make a difference

481
00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:26.960
in the world and give to the concerns that matter

482
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:30.320
the most to you. That is a very proactive way

483
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:33.800
to think and to go about this whole thing in

484
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:37.840
trying to think about what can I do so that

485
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.199
I can give back. So here's a few closing thoughts.

486
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:48.119
This is achievable. It is you need to become educated

487
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:51.880
on money management. Hopefully this podcast is going to help

488
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.159
you do that and think about also health and wellness issues.

489
00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.519
I want you to think about the money working for

490
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:05.559
you instead of working for the money. I'm going to

491
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:11.320
pick on you to become more disciplined, set yourself up correctly,

492
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.960
avoid the mistakes others have made. One of the things

493
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:18.760
I've done in my book is talk about some of

494
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.519
the mistakes I've made in the past, and a lot

495
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:24.320
of times, some of our biggest learnings come from our

496
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:28.960
biggest mistakes, don't they But learn from others who have

497
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:34.280
been there before you and the pitfalls to avoid. This

498
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:38.679
does require focus and wisdom. It does require you getting

499
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:42.119
quiet with yourself and really thinking about what you want

500
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:46.599
to accomplish. I'm going to say it again, stay out

501
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:51.679
of debt. The biggest freedom is going to be staying

502
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:55.960
out of debt, care for your money, and your money

503
00:37:56.920 --> 00:38:01.719
will take care of you all right. And if you

504
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:06.400
