Women Investing in Women - Free Seminar

What to prepare for? How much money is needed in retirement? What questions to ask when looking for financial help? What’s your money personality?

Karen Ellenbecker, certified financial adviser and president of Ellenbecker Investment Group, and Barbara Bartlein, clinical psychotherapist, are offering a free seminar for women.

Women Investing in Women

When: 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012
Where: Country Springs Hotel, Pewaukee.

For women, it can be a perfect storm for financial disaster. Women tend to earn less than men during their lifetime; they interrupt their careers and earning power to raise children and take care of elderly parents; divorce or widowhood leaves women unprepared to face their financial future.

What women don’t know about financial security could fill an empty bank account.

“Women have really good intuition when it comes to finances, but they don’t trust themselves to listen to it,” Ellenbecker said. “We want to inform women so they can level the playing field when it comes to their financial future.”
