Financial security isn’t just about earning money—it’s about understanding where you stand and making informed decisions for the future. Whether you’re planning for retirement, adjusting to an empty nest, or simply aiming to build long-term wealth, there are three essential numbers every woman should know: Total Income, Total Expenses, and Net Worth.

If you’ve ever felt uneasy watching the stock market bounce up and down, you’re not alone. Market volatility is a natural part of investing, yet it often sparks fear-based decisions—like pulling money out at the wrong time or waiting on the sidelines for the "perfect" moment to invest. But here’s the hard truth: timing the market is nearly impossible, and delaying investments can be even worse than poor market timing.
