AALP 208 – Executive Women’s Money with Bridget Venus Grimes

With years of experience, CFP, Bridget Grimes repeatedly witnessed female executives and managers fall prey to common financial pitfalls.  Despite their high-earning power, she saw women, often with little time to spare, reward themselves with retail therapy, failing to focus on their long-term financial health.  Bridget also observed financial advisors failing to account for situational considerations (like, underearning and time away from work) that are specific to women. Compelled to help women take the reigns of their financial fate and helping them to live the life they deserve, Bridget identified the four common financial derailers women must know.  They are: Prioritizing what you want Cash Flow Management How you Manage your Career for the life you want Having a Plan During our conversation, Bridget and I discuss the disparity between the salaries of men and women; the shame and anxiety regarding finances; how writing down goals will increase your odds of reaching them; and tips for finding a great CFP.
