Let’s Envision a Confident Financial Future Together
- Less than 50% of women feel confident about their finances and only 28% feel empowered to take action.
- Women influence about half the wealth in the U.S. and are poised to influence 75% of it by 2030.
- We want to bridge the gap between where female investors have been and where they are headed.
- We will provide opportunities for financial education, solutions, and connection.
- We’re dedicated to encouraging women to lead financially confident lives.
- You will have access to articles, webinars, and events – all crafted by the women of Foster Group, for our community.
- With Invested in Women, we can connect and grow together.

A Letter to My Future Self
Dear Future Me,
It’s a sunny Saturday morning and I’m sitting at the kitchen table, trying to make a plan for the future. My coffee cup is full, my thoughts are scattered, and my to-do list is way too long. The more things change, the more they stay the same!
Lately I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what’s important to me – my family, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and community. I’ve had my fair share of challenges along the way and have made big strides in the last five years. I know I should be patting myself on the back but it’s hard to celebrate when there’s so much more to be done.
Last week I had an epiphany. Simply put, I don’t want to worry about money anymore. But I have so many questions. How much will I need to earn and save and invest? How can I spend and give wisely? How will I navigate uncertainty and tune out the noise? I want to be smart about this and make good decisions, but I’m not sure where to start. I’m afraid that I’ll do the wrong thing or make a poor choice and it will set me back further.
I think I’m going to talk to someone about this. Someone I trust to tell me the truth. Someone who cares about me. Someone who helps people like me every day. It’s probably going to take an investment of time, and maybe money. But I’m worth making that investment.
Today, I begin a journey of confidence in my finances, and I can’t wait to see where this path takes me!
Love,
Current Me
