A 35 year marriage is now over. The lady told her story sadly. She was only 18 when she married her now ex-husband who filed bankruptcy and has an alcohol problem. So at age 53 with a income of $1700 a month. She is wondering how she can save for retirement.I find particularly interesting that a woman can be married to someone for any amount of time and not know or be involved in their financial futures. Now this own is trying to make up for loss time while working several part-time jobs.The majority of the elderly poor are women and most will out live their male partners. Yet they take the least interest in financial education. I wrote an article a few years ago for young women called The Fairytale of Women and Money. I guess this article is speaking more towards the women that survive the marriage after the fairytale is over. Either way my mission is to help women understand that their financial education is necessary for a better and healthier lifestyle.To hear about this topic and others, please join us on the Women Obtaining Wealth Internet Talk Show, every Sunday at 9:00pm EST.
