SUMMARY:ACTIVE AGING SERIES: Financial Planning For Single Women Part 1 – Retirement Foundations
DESCRIPTION:This series is designed to support single women over 50 who want clarity, confidence, and practical guidance as they plan for the next stage of life. Each session tackles a different part of financial wellbeing, from retirement income and debt stress to home equity options and government benefits, with presenters who understand the realities women face as they age. \nWomen in their 50s, 60s, and beyond often navigate financial decisions alone. Many have experienced career interruptions, caregiving responsibilities, rising living costs, or unexpected life changes. \nThis series brings together trusted experts who explain options in plain language, reduce confusion, and help participants make informed choices that support independence, stability, and long‑term comfort. Across the three sessions, participants will learn how to strengthen their financial literacy, reduce stress, plan for longevity, and build a future that reflects their values and goals.\n \nPart 1 – Retirement Foundations\nSchedule | Wednesday, October 21\n6:00 – 7:00 p.m. | Financial Confidence for Women 50+: Planning for Longevity and Freedom\nPresented by Loan Nguyen Wealth Advisory Group, BMO Private Wealth\nWomen over 50 face unique financial realities: longer lifespans, caregiving responsibilities, career interruptions, and the need to stretch retirement income further than previous generations.
