Sisters are doing it and doing it for themselves! While African-American women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs and the most educated group in America; our finances aren’t reaching positive milestones. Our money-making skills are great, but we definitely have trouble holding on to it.
Women control 75% of the wealth in America and are in more control of the purse strings in their households. Women are also the biggest consumers. They have reached $18 trillion in spending power and have decision-making influence over $11.2 trillion of investable assets.
A Prudential research report reveals that just one-third of women have a detailed financial plan in place. Only 53% of women indicated that they had begun saving for retirement, compared with 65% of men. And women with some retirement savings have accumulated less than half of what men have saved.
Harris & Harris Wealth Management Group is a boutique financial advisory firm focused on educating and supporting professional women and the community to build and transfer wealth. Her firm’s goal is to help clients achieve financial success by guiding them through major life-changing events, such as marriage, divorce, widowhood, career transitions, or the selling of a business. to help women better manage their money, investments, and give them the chance to focus on themselves for a change, Harris is kicking off a Finance ‘n Stilettos Wealth Retreat.
This retreat will allow high achieving, professional women plan their financial future and become the best version of themselves. Participants will meet one-on-one with a female certified financial planner to learn strategies on how to make their money work for them. While mapping out the ultimate prosperity plan, attendees also have the opportunity to network with other women. They’ll take advantage of full body massages, sample some exclusive wines, and enjoy luxury shopping.
Women in attendance will rejuvenate physically, mentally, as well as financially. The trans-formative event will take place April 26–29, 2017, at the Lodge at Sonoma Renaissance Resort & Spa.
