Sharon Lechter and Kim Scouller
Women, the beneficiaries of the great wealth transfer, are expected to control $30 trillion of the financial assets in the U.S. by 2030. That’s 2/3rds of the entire wealth in this country. Yet, many women defer financial decisions to their spouses or partners. Consider that 80% of women die single, while 80% of men die married. Now, more than ever, women need to know how money works. This book provides practical solutions for the unique financial challenges and opportunities that women encounter throughout their lives from paying for college, to starting a business, to raising children, to taking care of elderly parents, to planning for retirement and long-term care needs. How Money Works for Take Control or Lose It is a powerful new book from award-winning author Sharon Lechter and financial literacy advocate Kim Scouller. Sharon is also the author of Think and Grow Rich for Women with the Napoleon Hill Foundation and co-author of the international bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad among others.
