Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves

Hi Scott,

I’m a 37-year-old married women with two kids. My husband works at one of the major banks and looks after all things financial. Only recently have I thought about investing. Although I have faith in my husband to manage the finances, I want to be able to independently manage my own stocks. But I don't know where to start. Any advice would be helpful!

Hi Toni,

I always say that a man is not a financial plan, but in your case he’s your wingman. You should be doing this as a team. First, because marriage is a team sport, and with something as important as money you need to be on the same page. And second, because I’ve seen too many families lose a partner, and the grieving widow has no freaking clue how to manage the money.
