Here’s Why Women Need to Take Control of Their Finances
Finances can feel intimidating—especially when you’re not sure who to trust, what decisions to make, or where to even begin. And yet, over the last few years, we’ve seen a powerful shift: more and more women are stepping up, actively managing household budgets, contributing meaningfully to their family’s financial plan, and prioritizing their own independence. That’s progress—and it matters.
Still, despite playing a bigger role in day-to-day finances, many women continue to feel a lack of confidence when it comes to long-term planning, investing, or making big-picture decisions. Studies consistently show that women, while often excellent at managing household spending and saving, tend to rate themselves lower in financial confidence than men—especially when it comes to investing or navigating uncertain economic environments. That gap doesn’t reflect ability—it reflects access, education, and mindset. And it reinforces just how critical it is for women to ask questions, seek out support, and take an active role in shaping their financial future.
At Sherman Wealth, we believe that education leads to empowerment—and that every woman deserves to feel confident and in control of her money. Financial literacy isn’t something most of us were taught in school, which makes it even more important to create space for honest, judgment-free conversations about money: how it works, what it can do, and how to make it work for you.
In our work with women across all walks of life—professionals, business owners, caregivers, widows, divorcées, and newlyweds—we’ve seen firsthand how emotional financial decisions can be, especially when you’ve been left out of the process. We hear from women all the time who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of where to start. That’s exactly why we’re here.
Our goal is to empower you with tools, knowledge, and clarity—whether that means understanding your workplace benefits, getting a handle on your cash flow, building an investment plan, or just learning what questions to ask. The earlier you start, the more confident you’ll become. And if you have children or grandchildren, there’s no better gift than passing that confidence down to the next generation.
It’s not about doing it all alone—it’s about being involved, informed, and prepared. Because life can throw curveballs. And in moments of transition—whether it’s the loss of a spouse, a divorce, a new job, or a career change—you want to know that you’re financially equipped to stand on your own.
At Sherman Wealth, we’re committed to helping women feel seen, heard, and supported in every part of their financial journey. No matter your gender, background, or experience level, our mission is to help you feel confident making your own decisions and building a life aligned with your values.
