Happy New Year! Cheers to new beginnings and a brighter financial future.
For years, the focus has been on why women hesitated to invest. Now, the dialogue is evolving to emphasize how women are actively increasing their wealth. We're excited to start this year with impactful discussions featuring Kathy Murphy, who has been a steadfast advocate for women's financial empowerment. Serving as president of personal investing at Fidelity, Kathy shares insights from recent studies highlighting that over 70% of women feel empowered to demand more from their finances and plan to take significant steps within the next six months. Let's rally behind them! Kathy will guide us through this journey. In our Mailbag segment, Kelly and I tackle your inquiries about Social Security, initiating a Roth IRA, and navigating the current housing market. Additionally, we explore the financial repercussions of career breaks often taken by women for childcare, a topic we delve into during our Thrive section.
