Woman ,Investments & their Financial Health

A nice article.  Traditionally Indian women are dependents and they never care for themselves.  Considering the present scenario she needs financial stability at her fag end of her life to lead her life with dignity.  

Thanks all of you for such nice comments..

ofcouse mam  ,the article was a good insight into today's women world .In the recent society , women have realy made men lack behind in every sector . They are not merely bound to the kitchen alone as it used to be. They are realy the overall homemaker of a family and hence have turned independant.

Whether one may like it or not, Suchitra, you have presented the facts as it were that every one should take cognizance of and start doing savings for those who are home-makers. Especially, I see those who are not earners, had to struggle in the hands of children, though the children opt to take care of her do not come to her rescue when needed for various reasons.  Of course, those women who have economic independence should be prudently deploying their funds for future any any eventuality in the very unpredictable environment.  

In todays world more women tend to do it by themselves, hopefuly this will be a step in the right direction. Thanks Suchita for the referral.

very nice article suchitaji... 

totally agree with the comments above and women are not far behind when it comes to investments...seen many people do sound investments and having good knowledge when it comes to investment...Nice article suchitra

Women can do it.....what they need is interest to do it.......if you have interest u can do it....I feel women lack interest....u need to come out of comfort zone to achieve something....

Nice oneeeee.......Why we are not like to remember that since ancient day women is the person who can handle the budget of home very properly though she was not educated. Now day’s women can know the good options of investments and they are giving priority for it.

Yes Suchita you are right.Women are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of investing money to secure their future and they are not even shying away from investing in riskier options such as equity because they are ready to take higher risks for higher returns.

Yeah Suchitra, Good to see ur article.

  You are right. Women are playing this role of investor too these days & number is growing which is a good thing.Call it my prejudice or confidence; I frankly think  & believe, women are better money manager when it comes with responsibility. But who says women dont invest? When we mean investments, it comprises any form of security, commodity. For women off course, Gold is first preference to invest into which is very natural as it is very hard to find a woman in the world, who is not attracted to Gold. :))
  second thing, atleast in metros & small cities, women have started realising importance of diverse investments into commodities like Gold, Stocks, Funds, Govt securities as to secure n support their income & meet short, long term goals.
 Thanks to increased education, n awareness available from valuable mentors, guides like you, Suchitra.
 Very good article..!!
