Women generally earn less than men and live longer. And, at some point in their lives, most women are solely responsible for managing their own money or the money that supports their families. In this video program, we highlight ways that women can take a strong and pro-active approach to their finances. Through candid interviews, women tell their real-life stories about their experiences dealing with money during different stages of life - from a first job through to retirement - and in unexpected circumstances such as divorce, disability, or the death of a spouse.
Financial experts give tips and advice for successfully managing money.
Maria Baritomo, CNBC financial anchor, narrates this documentary about important ways to successfully handle your money. The production was funded by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE).
