What message are you sending about financial empowerment to the next generation of women? Are you modeling the importance of being involved with your own money management? Generation by generation, the stigma about women and investing is being reduced, but it is still out there, alive and well.
The days of bra burning are behind us, thank goodness, but an empowered woman of this century knows where her money is. She demonstrates competence around it; this is how we want our daughters, nieces and our friend’s daughters to feel, not fear and dependence around their money.
Take the Financial Woman 7 Mistakes Women Make with Money Quiz around this topic in the upper right corner of Financialwoman.com; see of any of them resonate with you.

This is belated. I really appreciate your leaving a comment on dare to dream. And I would love to hear more about three specific, simple concrete actions you’d suggest for mothers to take to model for their children that women and investing belong in the same room, beyond women and running a budget.
And should you be willing to guest blog this on dare to dream – that would be wonderful. I’d love to hear your advice regardless.
Whitney,
Now I am the belated one after being at a conference for entrepreneur women and business development last week! Thank you for your comment. I look forward to writing a blog about 3 simple steps for mothers to model around good money habits.
