If there’s one “little black book” in your life that even your significant other won’t mind you having, it’s Larstan Publishing’s The Black Book on Personal Finance, a guide authored by 11 specialists skilled in areas such as investing, tax and retirement planning, business counseling and more.
The Employee Benefit Research Institute’s recently completed 2005 Retirement Confidence Survey shows that women age 45 and older are more than twice as likely as men in this age group to report, in the past year, that they planned to postpone their retirement date. It doesn’t have to be this way, said “Black Book” author Cheryl Burbano, of American Express Financial Advisors.
Burbano focuses on women — working professionals, widows, divorcees and single mothers — in helping them overcome their financial fears and better understand what they can do to retire on time and with confidence.
Many of the contributing authors are advisers exclusively to wealthy clients, and in the “Black Book,” they share many secrets of wealth creation and retention. Other chapters focus on sector rotation strategies, creating an investment “dashboard” to more effectively monitor your investments, exploit estate-planning laws and more. |

Don't get your heart set on hanging on to the house. That's financial planner Cheryl Burbano's advice for women going through divorce. Since the equity in the house is often the couple's largest asset, the woman who claims it may get nothing else, she said.
"Then the dust settles after the divorce and they find out the maintenance on the house, taxes, insurance and so forth are beyond their household budget, so it's not realistic to keep the house anyway," she said.
Burbano, who is affiliated with Ameriprise Financial Services in Wesley Chapel, tells women to put their emotions aside when reviewing their finances, especially during an emotional time like divorce.
"Visualize yourself as the chief financial officer of Your Family Inc.," she tells them. That's the kind of advice Burbano dispenses in a chapter she contributed to Larstan's The Black Book on Personal Finance. Last week she was in New York promoting the new book from Larstan Publishing and talking about women's financial needs.
Another key tip for those who are divorcing: If you're counting on support payments, be sure your soon-to-be ex has disability insurance and life insurance naming you as the owner and beneficiary. |
