For Moms Managing Finances Advice, Support and Hope are Available

A 2010 survey performed by researcher iVillage, found that an increasing amount of women are making the financial decisions for the entire household. The survey discovered 61% of moms are in charge of the family’s finances and 41% expressed they would like to be more educated when it comes to financial decision making. Only 37% responded that they would seek information from a financial advisor (Making the Case for Financial Literacy 1).

There are many reasons people might not want to seek out information from a professional. Embarrassment, distrust, inconvenience and cost are some of the barriers people face.

So what do you do? The solution may be easier than you think.
