Are You Ready for the Wealth Transfer to Women?

Now that the election season has passed with little physical violence suffered, my stress level has decreased. There is still quite a bit going on, of course, but I feel that now is the time to move on. 

That being said, I am thinking about something that I have talked about before. 

The unprecedented transfer of wealth to women in the US.

According to a July report from McKinsey & Company, baby boomers control 70% of the assets.  

 

What’s more: In two-thirds of affluent households with a male and female partner, the man is the key financial decision-maker. 

 

Statistics show that women outlive men by approximately 5 years. Hence the transfer of wealth when their male partners die, the women will then be in control of the wealth. 

 

There are many articles out there talking about how to attract female investors. The stock market and financial advisors are ready to take us on.

 

For many of you, this transfer of wealth will not be direct. It may come through your mother or father. Remember: opportunity is where preparation meets luck.

 

Are you one of the “lucky” ones? Are you prepared? Don’t let this wealth transfer only survive one generation. We can learn how to build generational wealth that will last far beyond our lifetimes.

 

 If you feel inspired to take control and build your financial future, begin today by reading my free e-book: How to Create Wealth That Outlives You. 

book cover: how to create wealth that outlives you.

Until next time… give your money a mission and invest in real estate that provides a financial return and improves communities.

The Vanish Test: What My Personal Trainer Taught Me About Your Money with Dr. Felecia Froe

Dr. Felecia Froe opens this solo episode with a confession that has nothing to do with money: she has a personal trainer, and she has absolutely no idea what she’s doing at the gym. She just shows up, does what he says, and leaves sweaty. That worked fine until Tony (my trainer) announces he’s going on vacation, and Felecia realizes her entire fitness “plan” lives in his head, not hers. That small panic cracks open a much bigger question: how many women are doing the exact same thing with their money?

ICYMI: Make Your Money Do More: Become Your Own Bank with Erica Neal

Erica Neal didn’t set out to become a wealth strategist. She was on the pre-med track until an unplanned teenage pregnancy knocked her off that path and into a finance and economics degree she almost didn’t choose. In this ICYMI episode, Erica joins Dr. Felecia to trace her journey from watching her mom fall into credit card debt to co-founding Infinity Investment Strategies and writing the bestselling Mind of Gold. She opens up about the “earthquake moment” that made her question everything she’d been taught about traditional financial planning: a client who asked a question she couldn’t answer.

Foundations #12: How Wealth B-Hers Talks about Money Differently

Most of us don’t avoid money conversations because we don’t care; we avoid them because the rooms available to us don’t feel safe. In this final installment of the Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe steps away from strategy and numbers to unpack something more fundamental: the culture underneath every Wealth B-Hers conversation. She names the pressure many women feel walking into financial conversations, the pressure to already have the answers, to sound confident, to never ask the “basic” question, and shows how that pressure shuts down learning and breeds shame instead of wealth. In its place, she lays out three foundations that shape the Wealth B-Hers community: no pretending, worth separated from net worth, and no rushing.
