Smart Women

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M Why is it that many times men get magazines on investing and finances and women get magazines on pinching dollars at the grocery store?  Yet here I am now, single and in charge of my money and investments.

V A worthwhile point.  Women now control a substantial part of our nation’s wealth.  Through inheritance, longer life, singleness, and sadly, divorce are today’s realities. As an attorney and certified financial planner, I encourage both partners in a marriage to create their financial priorities and both understand their investments.  

M Another changing demographic is that most women in the United States are single.  Simple fact:  we need to know and understand our finances.
