Key Takeaways:

  • Financial security is a crucial aspect of overall wellness and can impact personal transformation and evolution.
  • Many women were raised to believe that talking about money is impolite, which can lead to financial insecurity and limited knowledge about household finances.
  • Safeguarding finances in a marriage includes opening a bank account and getting a credit card in your own name, as well as securing financial documents and changing passwords.
  • Red flags of financial mismanagement or hidden money in a marriage include changes in behavior, secrecy about finances, and unexplained spending or withdrawals.
  • Tracy offers a red flag quiz on her website to help individuals assess their risk of financial fraud or mismanagement in their marriage.
  • In divorce, money is commonly hidden in secret bank accounts, undisclosed credit card spending, or unreported income. Tracy's Divorce Money Guide provides guidance on uncovering hidden money and protecting one's financial interests.

Get To Know Tracy Coenen: 

Tracy has been investigating fraud for more than 25 years, but she didn’t always want to be a forensic accountant. With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.
