Women in transition

Taking Control of Your Financial Future - A guide for women in times of financial transition

Building strength through change

Life transitions—such as divorce, widowhood, retirement, or receiving an inheritance—are often emotional turning points. Alongside the personal challenges, they require financial decisions that will shape the next chapter of your life. For many women, these transitions highlight a powerful opportunity to take control of their financial future.

At True North Wealth Advisors, we believe that moments of change, while difficult, can also serve as the spark to create a new foundation of security, independence, and confidence.

“Life transitions, though often difficult, can become powerful opportunities to take control, build financial security, and move forward with purpose and peace of mind.”

Women’s financial journeys are unique

Women often navigate financial realities that are distinct, shaped by different career paths, life transitions, and longevity. These differences mean they benefit from an approach tailored to their journey, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Career paths

Family responsibilities may lead to pauses in work that impact long-term earnings, highlighting the need for tailored strategies.

Financial confidence

Many women feel less confident making investment decisions, even when fully capable, highlighting the importance of trusted guidance.

Emotional layers

Financial decisions are often tied to family responsibilities, values, and priorities, requiring guidance that looks beyond the numbers to what truly matters.

A framework for moving forward

One of the first steps toward restoring financial balance is to follow a framework that fosters stability, clarifies priorities, and builds a plan to ensure financial decisions align with life’s broader goals.

“Knowledge is power, and clarity is the first step to regaining control.”

1. Establish Clarity

Taking control begins with understanding where you stand today:

Inventory all accounts, assets, and debts

Track income sources such as salary, Social Security, or support payments.

Map out near-term and long-term expenses.

2. Secure the Present

Before focusing on growth, anchor your financial stability:

Build an emergency reserve.

Review insurance coverage to protect against the unexpected.

Update wills, trusts, and beneficiary designations.

3. Define Your Next Chapter

Transitions offer a unique chance to reset priorities:

What does independence mean to you?

How do you want to use your wealth—security, lifestyle, family, or impact?

Which values should guide your plan?

4. Create a Roadmap

A personalized financial plan turns intention into action:

Investment strategies tailored for growth and stability

Tax-efficient solutions to keep more of what’s earned

Retirement income planning for longevity and inflation

Charitable giving and legacy strategies
