Financial Power for Women Starts at Home

The Detroit News article outlines actionable strategies for women to strengthen their financial position—highlighting the role women play not just in managing household budgets, but in building long-term family wealth. At UNest, we believe in celebrating and empowering that leadership every step of the way.

UNest gives women the tools to not only save for their children’s future, but to invest in their own financial legacy. Whether you're a mom, aunt, grandma, or guardian, opening a UNest account for a loved one is a powerful way to demonstrate long-term thinking and financial responsibility.

It also builds confidence. As women become more engaged in financial planning—whether through budgeting, saving, or investing—they lay a foundation of independence and security that benefits the whole family.

With UNest, there’s no need to navigate financial jargon or worry about choosing the "perfect" investment strategy. Our intuitive app walks you through each step and allows you to customize your contributions to fit your lifestyle. Plus, with features like goal-based tracking, UNest makes saving not just empowering, but accessible and even joyful.

Start by saving for your child. Continue by building the life you deserve.

You can give children money that can accumulate somewhat tax-free over time... I love them (UTMAs) because they were like, trusts that you didn't need lawyers to create.... I think it's one of the better tax breaks around though. I know hunting for tax breaks may not sound very exciting, but that's how you take care of your family.
