Already the first month of
2014 has passed us by. How many of you
are still sticking to your plans and resolutions for this new year? If you're like most people, money-related goals
probably figure pretty high on your list of things to accomplish in 2014. Unfortunately for some people, getting their
finances in order and planning for the future can be a challenge. Add the complexities of living abroad and
having to navigate financial systems and tax laws of different countries and
you've got a daunting task to accomplish.
To help clarify and facilitate successful financial planning for both
personal and professional endeavors, WICE is presenting for the fourth time,
its popular Money Matters for Women seminar, on Saturday, February 8th,
2014.
The Money Matters for Women
seminar has valuable information for everybody, regardless of your current
financial situation. The diverse
speaker topics will inform and empower you to be able to make the right
decisions to take control and achieve your goals of financial stability and
prosperity. And even if you've already
mastered managing your finances and are a sophisticated investor, you can come
and learn about the new changes in financial and tax laws (such as the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act for Americans residing in France -FATCA) and how
they can affect your financial future.
Although the financial
expertise and advice given at this seminar will benefit everyone, including
men, the speakers will also address issues that are particularly relevant to
women. Bryan Hancock (founder of
Timberchase Financial) explains, "Like men, women face a myriad of
financial issues: managing their day to day expenses, insuring and protecting
what they have, establishing and maintaining sound credit, saving and investing
for their own retirement, reducing taxes, planning for those they love at
death, and saving for a variety of life goals.
However, many women today struggle with gaining command of what they
have and seek solutions to problems like these:
- Having the time, interest or knowledge to manage money confidently
- Planning for the likelihood that a married woman will be a widow or divorcee at some point and will need to have knowledge and control of her money
- Juggling the demands of family responsibilities (caring for children, aging spouse, or aging parents) especially across oceans and continents
- Knowing how to save for retirement with or without a defined, long term career
- Knowing what she has, where it is, and how it all fits together
- Knowing what professional advice she will need and how to confidently find trusted advisors."
