Introduction: Women's Unique Financial Needs

Overview

This introductory financial course is designed to give women the basic tools necessary to take control of their financial future. Financial security can be achieved in a relatively short amount of time if the appropriate steps are followed. Because women have unique financial needs--they live longer and tend to work less than men--it is more important than ever for all women--single, married, divorced, or widowed--to take charge of their money and secure their financial future.
