While my book, Smart Money, Smart Women, Smart Life, is geared to women, it essentially is a book for everybody. I cover the basics of retirement planning, saving and investing. In 70 chapters, I deal with diverse topics such as selling a business, taking an early job buyout offer and ways to become a confident investor. Many of us find ourselves dealing with an aging parent and/or a troubled child or grandchild. The book gives you ways to cope. It spells out how to prevent elder financial abuse and explains why men and women must plan differently for their later years because men, typically, die sooner than women. That means women will be financially on their own. Smart Money Smart Women Smart Life gives people a blueprint for their financial future. IWhy Julia?
