Is the content on Fama financial advice?

No. The content on our site is for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be construed as professional financial, legal, or tax advice. We provide general guidance, but every woman’s financial situation is unique.

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information based on credible sources like the Securities and Exchange Commission and Internal Revenue Service, we strongly encourage readers to consult with qualified professionals regarding their specific circumstances before making significant financial decisions. See our Disclaimer for more information.

How do I know if the information is current?

We take several measures to ensure our content remains accurate and relevant:

  • Each article displays a “Last Updated” date so you can see when it was most recently reviewed
  • We conduct quarterly audits of all content to identify articles needing updates
  • Articles about time-sensitive topics (tax laws, retirement contribution limits, etc.) are updated annually or when significant changes occur
  • We prioritize citing statistics and studies published within the last 2-3 years
  • For time-sensitive topics like tax regulations or investment trends, we include source citations with dates and links to authoritative references such as the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Federal Reserve Economic Data

For the most current financial regulations and guidelines, always check authoritative sources like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or Internal Revenue Service.

Do you have content for women at different life stages?

Yes! We organize much of our content by common life stages and transitions women experience:

  • Early Career: Building foundations, managing student debt, starting to invest
  • Mid-Career: Advancing professionally, increasing savings, balancing priorities
  • Pre-Retirement: Maximizing contributions, planning for healthcare, preparing for transition
  • Retirement: Distribution strategies, estate planning, pursuing new opportunities
  • Major Life Events: Marriage, divorce, career changes, caregiving responsibilities

We also recognize that life stages aren’t linear, and our content acknowledges the varied paths women may take. Our life stage approach is informed by research from organizations like the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, which has extensively documented how women’s retirement journeys often differ from men’s.

We offer curated resource collections for specific life events such as “Starting a Business,” “Preparing for Retirement,” or “Navigating Divorce” to make it easier to find relevant information during important transitions.
