Investment: Specific to Women
Plain Talk®: Women and Investing -- this is a good general resource. It focuses on the differences between men and women as investors, giving facts, and examples, and drawing practical conclusions. Organized around five basic steps to follow in financial planning, it includes worksheets on net worth, budgeting, allocation preferences, and taking a financial inventory. It provides a detailed yet understandable description of mutual funds. Unfortunately, this piece ignores all other forms of investment and does not discuss how to assess how mutual funds might function as part of your retirement plan.
