Ms Morrison on WWOR TV's My9 News


Her rich financial wisdom, magnetic personality, and wit make her an exceptional communicator. She is always eager to offer encouragement to widows and boomer women who are struggling to master their finances. She takes an educational approach on investment and financial planning, and loves to "see the light bulb go off for women" when they get in touch with how logical finances are, and the knowledge that they can do it.

Did you know that 46% of women fear becoming a bag lady? And half are making over $100,000?*

Who: With Lily Tomlin, Gloria Steinem, Katie Couric, and Shirley MacLaine having publicly admitted their fear of becoming bag ladies, it's no wonder women everywhere fear their money could disappear in a heartbeat.

What: 815,000 women work at Wal-Mart and 67% of working women haven't saved anything for retirement.

How: Negative money messages and socialization that "A Man is a Plan" have paralyzed women.

When: Start saving now! For every 10 years a woman waits, she'll have to save three times as much.

Debra L. Morrison's three incredibly easy solutions:

  1. Feel the fear, but not alone - interview a trusted advisor to plan
  2. Insure your significant other - it will be your Single Best Investment
  3. Save 10-15% of your income - must earmark savings
