WHY FOCUS ON WOMEN?

The majority of women today lead very different lives than just a few decades ago. They excel in their careers, efficiently handle responsibilities at home, attend little league games, volunteer at the local food bank and still manage to make it to the yoga class on time! Women, today, also have a lot working against them. Take for instance their life span. A woman today is expected to live about eight to nine years longer than their male counterparts. Over 70% of nursing home residents are women, with almost 50% of women aged 65 and older being widows.

Women continue to be the primary caregiver for an aging parent or a young child. As a result, they stay out of the workforce for an average of 15% of their working years. This not just results in setbacks in their careers, but also negatively impacts their long-term savings such as 401(k) plans and social security benefits.


So in short, women are expected to live longer… with less money. As a result, more and more women are seeking financial guidance in making the right decisions to offset the setbacks and proactively take control of their future. There are more female scientists, politicians, astronauts and business-owners than ever before, and the numbers are growing.

Having faced such adversity herself, Rashida Lilani, CFP® feels passionately about helping other women realize their life goals and lead a life that’s aligned with their value system, so her clients and their loved ones can live a rewarding and fulfilling life.
