The average woman in the U.S. is likely to live a long life—about six years longer than a man—so preparing for the many years ahead can be critical. Yet, studies show that women often lag behind men when it comes to planning for retirement.

This is especially true of women in the baby boom generation, who now range in age from 59 to 77. But younger women also face challenges when it comes to achieving financial security.

You're not born with financial literacy, it has to be learned. If financial conversations were taboo in your household growing up, you may be learning (and un-learning) some money mantras and habits as an adult. You have the POWER to seek financial education, no matter your age or income status.

We're fierce advocates for hard-working individuals like you owning their money power and making financially literate decisions to reach long-term life goals. If you have a big life change coming up (new baby, new home, new job, new marriage), here are five reasons why Octavia wants to be on your side: https://octaviawa.com/about/why-choose-octavia/
