Review Quotes

A must read for any woman looking to learn more about herself and finances! You made it simple to understand and lighthearted with analogies like, "Stocks are like mean girlfriends." No man could come up with that line! Great practical advice for women at any stage of life. Well done!

Caren's very straight forward education about financial planning, explanation of choices for investments and how to develop an income stream with our investments was invaluable to making choices about the timing of my retirement.
