CHICAGO, IL – February 22, 2024 – Divorce rates among middle-aged and older Americans have reportedly surged in recent years. As a matter of fact, a survey from Bowling Green State University finds that divorce rates have doubled for Americans who are 55 or older and has tripled for those who are 65 and older between 1990 and 2021. Tune in to this short segment to learn Mary Beth’s thoughts on what to do if you find yourself nearing divorce and what you can do to build financial trust in your relationship, to help you avoid divorce.

MARY BETH MCLEAN, PARTNER, CFP®, MBA – I love what I do — and I think of myself as a financial caregiver. In fact, I considered a career in nursing, but realized I did not have the “patience” (pun intended!) for it. I devote much of my current practice working with women, often in transition, to learn how to take control of their financial matters. The most satisfying part of this profession is to watch our clients become empowered. I help my clients conceive their future, relieve their fears and achieve their dreams.
