When most women
approach the
commitment of
marriage, they talk about
where they will live, whether
they will work, whether they
will have children and how
many. Rarely do they consider
money — one of the most
significant factors in divorce
— to the depth that it requires.
Who will manage the
money? How will it be
invested? For what goals?
The answer is one of
balance, where both parties
discuss openly and honestly
their knowledge, their fears,
their goals and ideas -
pertaining to money.
As a couple, she says, the
emphasis is on two people
joining together to share a life

which both are comfortable.
Neither one should make all
the decisions without the
input of the other.
Even if the husband does
not believe his wife knows
anything about money, he may
be surprised. Men often point
to a woman's wardrobe and
say she can't possibly manage
money because she never has
any left after shopping!
They forget that for years
women have had to plan their
expenditure on clothing,
makeup and skin care —
necessary items that are
exceedingly over -priced —
according to their limited
incomes. They have run

generations.

gap, women often already
own property when they meet
their husbands, have their
own cars and have money in
the bank. -
In addition, women
traditionally started on lower
salaries, worked for shorter
periods, and therefore start
with a lot less to invest, a lot
later in life. It is important for
them to be able to make
informed decisions with
confidence. -
What you need and what I
need are two different things.
An investment choice should
be based upon your current
income, family situation, age
and goals.
More importantly, it should
be a decision you are
comfortable with for a long
time. Having that level of
comfort only comes with
knowledge and experience.
