Wi$e Up, Women! - A Guide to Total Fiscal and Physical Well-Being (Paperback)

Achieve emotional, physical and financial balance for total well being in retirement.
Nowhere are gender differences more prevalent than in the areas of money and finance. Added to this are the complexities associated with women and financial matters, and now, longevity is redefining retirement for women. Women control over 60% of the wealth in this country, yet few financial models consider the relevant issues specific to women-- particularly in understanding the impacts physical and emotional needs have on financial wealth. Over 90% of women feel financially insecure and half of those women report a fear of becoming financially destitute. Women are at greater financial risk due to longer life expectancy, lesser earnings, care-giving interruptions, and fewer retirement resources. Add to that, sudden life events such as widowhood, divorce, and job loss, which can wreak havoc on women's emotional and financial health. This book discusses the need for life planning and offers strategies for consideration for all women who desire to be financially independent and experience optimal well being.
Bajalia focuses on the health/wealth connection to ensure women have a quality of life during the various stages of their retirement lives. She provides a guide for protecting and preserving the lifestyle we desire as women and shares insights on the emotional, physical and financial balance required for a dignified, empowering retirement. For women, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY - IT'S ABOUT TOTAL WELL BEING.
