Master Your Financial Destiny: Empower Yourself After Divorce, Financial Control, or Partner Death

Life On Purpose Over 40

Welcome! I had the pleasure of sitting down with financial expert and advocate for women's financial independence, Rachel Burns. Having witnessed friends navigate life's curveballs, like divorce or death, with financial dependence, it struck me just how critical financial security is. Rachel shares valuable insights on the importance of planning ahead, especially when dependents are involved, and the challenges one might face in the process.
Our conversation led us through the complexities of estate planning and the critical need to have it especially when you have dependents. We've shared a roadmap for those on this journey, with advice on where to find crucial financial information, even when you don't have direct access to accounts. We've shed light on the intricacies of finding financial documents and getting help with the process, underlining the importance of emergency funds for unforeseen events.
We also broached the sensitive topic of financial expectations in relationships, particularly between parents and children. It's not uncommon for people to anticipate their parents covering significant costs, like weddings. These scenarios often trigger challenging conversations. Moreover, we've stressed the significance of getting assistance from estate planning attorneys and being cautious with financial advisors. Wrapping up our enlightening discussion, Rachel shared her top three life tips for women over 40 and highlighted the essence of platforms like True Worth Financial in offering valuable advice on financial security. Tune in for the full scoop!
