MAIN Your Money Women's Finances

Often a mere dream when grandma was growing up, financial independence for women is more and more becoming a reality for many women.

In turn, women are now teaching their kids about budgeting and finance and their teen girls the value of standing on their own two feet financially to compete against the 'big boys' in the world of business as never before.

Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey are only two examples of how women have risen from humble beginnings and somehow manage to build veritable empires of wealth.

Whether married, facing retirement, a single or divorced mom — or if you're just looking to amass a personal fortune — these top sites are geared toward women and their unique financial interests.
