MONEY SMART WOMEN: How to Be a Confident Investor

摘要

You don't have to be an expert. Start with your employer's retirement savings plan. AFTER I WROTE A COLUMN about building financial confidence in young girls ("Money Smart Women," May), I received a note from a reader telling me how she had tackled that challenge with adult women. "Some years ago," wrote Margaretta Paduch, "I realized that the female executive directors of a number of nonprofits in which I was interested ran highly successful enterprises but hadn't a clue about their own retirement finances." So Paduch, a dedicated individual investor, launched a series of monthly lunches to introduce the women to investing.
