When it comes to financial planning, not all advisors are created equal. Whether you work with us at Green Financial Group or another firm, one of the most important things you can do is look into whether or not your financial planner is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional (CFP®).

One critical area where women often feel less confident is financial decision-making. Despite being successful investors and financial managers, many women still feel hesitation or uncertainty when it comes to making key financial choices. Addressing this confidence gap is crucial for long-term financial success and independence.

For many women, especially as we enter new phases of life, the desire to give back often becomes a central focus. Whether you’re in a season of newfound independence, facing life changes like becoming a grandparent or navigating retirement, charitable giving can be a meaningful way to support what matters most to you. But with so many worthy causes, how do you decide where to give?

As women, many of us are natural nurturers—whether we’re supporting our families, friends or communities, so giving back is something that often comes instinctively. For those of us who are in a position to give financially, philanthropy provides a wonderful opportunity to make an impact on causes close to our hearts. But did you know that strategic charitable giving can also potentially offer tax benefits?

Caregiving often comes as an unexpected turn in life, bringing with it a mix of emotions, burdens and unanticipated challenges. While it can be deeply rewarding, the responsibility can also introduce significant stress, especially for those who have professional careers. Many women find themselves managing the dual roles of caregiver and professional, needing to navigate the complexities of work, family and caregiving simultaneously.

As a woman, one of the most significant challenges we face in retirement planning is accounting for longevity. We tend to live longer than men, which means our retirement savings need to last longer—sometimes 20, 30 or even 40 years after we stop working. In this video, I dive into why it’s crucial for women to have a financial plan that specifically addresses these unique considerations.

As a financial advisor and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I frequently encounter the profound impact that caregiving can have on women in their 50s and beyond. Whether you’re caring for an aging parent, a spouse or another loved one, these responsibilities can introduce unique financial challenges.

As a Financial Advisor and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional who works with women, I understand that divorce can bring about many changes and challenges, especially when it comes to planning for your children’s future. The complications of a divorce touch all aspects of your family’s life, but one that many people tend to overlook is how it will impact funding your children’s education. Based on my experience in this area, here are a few things I wish every woman going through a divorce knew about college funding after divorce.
