Retirement Planning For Women

What is HerCompass?

A guided retirement planning program designed specifically for women.

NorthStar is here to guide women through financial and long-term care planning needed at each stage in a woman’s retirement journey, this could be caregiving, divorce, widowhood, and other life events that can deeply affect finances available for retirement years. Our program is an educational process designed to give women the guiding tools needed to find financial peace of mind, security, and comfort in retirement.

Additionally, we address potential hidden (and harmful) barriers holding women back from feeling empowered about their future. 

Even some of the most assertive, confident, and powerful women struggle with thoughts like:

  • What if I’m wrong and I make a big financial mistake?
  • I don’t like spending money on myself.
  • I feel overwhelmed by my finances and all the options I have.
  • Who will take care of me one day? 
  • Afraid to ask “stupid” questions or not sure what to ask
  • Money is a taboo topic

If you’ve had any of these thoughts (or any others that make you hesitate when it comes to finances), you’re not alone.

And many men ask the same questions you have on your mind right now.

The difference is…

In the long history of humanity, men have been the primary breadwinners, and as a result, men have mostly managed the finances.

Today, women have a lot more choices than they had in the last century.

The problem is it can feel intensely overwhelming to even think about where to start.

Investment Management

Investment management is a crucial piece to most individuals’ financial plan. However, few take the time to weigh their options and a lack of understanding can lead to reduced income for the rest of their lives. Our goal is to maintain a reasonable rate of return while protecting your assets during market downturns.
