Web Financials for Women

Posted by Bonny Albo Mar 14, 2007

“Women face particular challenges in planning a secure financial future,” said Marty Durbin, president and chief operating officer of First Command. “While the gender gap in earnings is narrowing, women earn less, on average, than men. They typically work fewer years than men — and live longer than men, making their need for long-term financial security even more important. This new online content is designed to help women take responsibility for their own financial well-being and pursue the quality of life they desire.”

Women can go to www.firstcommand.com/mylife to learn more about how to address the special financial concerns and perspectives they face in their lives. The site offers helpful information on ways to take control of your financial destiny, including an online subscription to a free monthly eNewsletter

“According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nine out of 10 women manage their finances alone at some point in their lives,” Durbin said. “So it’s essential to start thinking about tomorrow today. First Command Financial Advisors are committed to helping consumers pursue their financial goals and dreams.”
