Resource Roundup: Women and Finances

Last year, our friend Christine Luken wrote a guest post here on our blog. The topic: Owning Your Financial Power. I took her advice to heart and felt that I had at least accomplished two of her recommendations—I had a good relationship with money, and I had (mostly) gotten over that pesky habit of undervaluing myself. I knew that there were areas where I could advance my financial literacy but that I was doing a good job in other areas.

What I have been reminded of recently with new research coming out is that I can always learn more, get more comfortable, and share that with others.

Women: It’s Time To Own Your Financial Power

As women, we have more power over our personal finances than we think we do. We just need to own that power.
