Death is not a respecter of persons. Death will happen to all of us at some point and none of us knows when. Statistically speaking, in the marriage relationship, women often outlive their husband by an average of 5 years. When it comes to handling the financial matters of life like investments, insurance policies, taxes, and such, most widows are not ready to walk life alone when their spouse dies. Truth be told, most of us don’t even know how to pay bills or do the banking because our husbands handled that matter.
As of today, Wayne and I have been married 47 years. He is 72 and is six years plus a smidge older than me. While we both hope to walk this life together for another decade or so, my wise husband has been setting aside some time for my financial training. He’s teaching me some of the stuff I may need to know if he meets Jesus before I do. As we cover different subjects, he is creating a very detailed step-by-step reference guide for me, which I have dubbed ‘Operation Widowhood’.
