The megahit Barbie movie — in which director Greta Gerwig gave the iconic brand a subversive twist — has a lot of people talking about feminism, female stereotypes and women’s empowerment.
At Perigon’s most recent women’s conversation circle, in June, a group of female clients, advisors and friends discussed our reactions to the recent financial news – as well as our personal approaches to cash management, banking and saving.
For many of us, money is a taboo subject within the family. But financial conversations can also be important and even necessary. What do existing estate plans look like? Do older generations intend to contribute to grandkids’ college or wedding bills or give everything to charity? Do family elders have enough to support themselves without family assistance? Do we need to add “financial support to parents” to our own financial plan?
The news – coming at us from every channel, broadcast, blog, or tweet – can sound scary and grim. Inflation, potential recession, rapidly rising interest rates, the wildly gyrating stock market … It’s enough to make us want to tune out the news completely or throw our investment statements in the shredder unopened.
