Welcome to the Madrina Molly™ Community
I’m delighted to report that we had a successful launch last week. Our mission to democratize and demystify financial information for Women of a Certain Age(ncy) and their Allies and Friends has begun!
Only 16% of BoomX Women Say They Have Received Financial Education
That’s not acceptable. For years, women have been reaching out to me for financial advice and planning assistance. By and large you are:
Stressed and ashamed that you somehow missed the memo on how to manage money.
Ready to make yourselves wrong when you seek advice. (Seriously, the women I meet are quick to begin the conversation with, “I’m sure you’re going to tell me my financial management is terrible.”)
Scared that you won’t be able to continue working long enough to fund your retirement.
Worried that you’ll need to work forever to fund your retirement.
Ping-ponging from children to work to parents without time for yourself.
Angry that media, marketers, and institutions think you’re invisible.
A Madrina Molly™ subscription gives you a place to go to ask your questions, confirm you are on the right track, solve problems, and achieve a lovely "second half" of life. All of this comes with the confidence of knowing that I’m not a finfluencer; I’m a former working financial planner and a current (and forever) CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional.
24 x 7 = 168
You have 168 hours in a week. So do I. So does everyone on the planet. That’s no mystery. It’s simple math. And how we spend those 168 hours is up to us.
You may already be rolling your eyes thinking I’m dead wrong, that our time isn’t really ours, not all of it anyway. Some of it belongs to jobs, bosses or employees, some to our kids, our spouses or aging parents.
Each week, we devote hours to running errands, doing chores, and trying to carve out some time for ourselves, to preserve our health, our happiness or maybe our sanity. Then there’s time for sleep … often, there just aren’t enough hours left for that, or at least that’s what it seems.
