Former Nun Helps Others Face Financial Security Issues

Unique adaptable financial strategy is unveiled by an unlikely source.

Lake Geneva, WI (PRWEB) May 9, 2006 -- A former teaching nun is using her experience to share her keys to overcoming money problems. She had seen too many families, widows, and widowers face financial disaster unprepared.

“Years after I left the convent for a more proactive lifestyle, I found myself working as a mortgage broker in a beautiful Wisconsin lakes area community. Just as in the days when I was teaching in Chicago’s inner city, people were coming to me to confide their nightmare financial scenarios. There was chaos because of medical costs; couples were desperate to refinance to get their children into school; newly-weds wanted to purchase their first home but were bound up in credit card debt; and too many had no significant savings to apply to any of life’s many surprises.”

Then I had my own difficult experience, caused in part by the impact of 9/11 on my small business, caused in part by circumstances surrounding my mother’s last years in hospice in our home.

I was suddenly personally aware of the need to have a sound financial plan in place---and at a time in my life when I wondered if it was actually too late. Then I met a financial advisor at a speaking engagement where we were both presenting, and I truly felt as though a heavenly door had opened. Perhaps more important, my eyes were opened to the huge lack of financial literacy that abounds in our society.

My website, Goingforgoldafter50.com is designed to address the issues that face mature adults who may not have focused on the highly emotional issue of money and financial security---until they were a little older. Through this site, users will also be able to get a free e-course and access to a real strategy with a high probability of success.

The good news is that it is never too late to pay attention to this issue. More good news is that over time, this site and related links will help people of all ages develop increased financial literacy.
