Family Finances
Being a woman in America today requires tenacity, resilience, and work. We have many identities: mother, sister, daughter, wife, single mom, aunt, grandmother, and friend. Part of defining ourselves is based on how we relate to money. We may be comfortable with budgeting but not investing and building wealth, or we may not know how to manage our money.
Personal and family finance is important for women of all backgrounds to understand. Learning how to handle daily cash flow, family budgeting, and building wealth is instrumental for financial wellbeing. How we view and manage money may change as we go through different phases of life: from budgeting for a baby to start a savings plan for your child’s education to teaching your kids about money to even how to budget for a family pet.
Savvy Ladies equips you with the advice & guidance you need to create the best financial plan for both you and your family. We know that asking questions is part of learning and understanding your money mindset. We can help you understand how you think about money and change behaviors that prevent you from achieving your financial goals.
At Savvy Ladies, we embrace the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. We welcome and serve women of all backgrounds and nationalities. By getting real honest answers to your financial questions, you will be enhancing your financial wellbeing, reducing financial anxiety, and moving forward to becoming better prepared to understand the best course of action to take with your finances.
