They say "when you know better, you do better", but with money that isn't always the case. So why is it that all our knowledge and good intentions don't always translate into better financial choices? Martha Lawton explains how our basic psychology often gets in the way of our financial wellbeing and what we can do about it, providing attendees with practical strategies to change their money mindset and habits.
Women's careers and family lives often take very different paths from men's and without the relevant financial guidance it's easy to get off track. Personal finance media for women rarely goes beyond thrifty grocery shopping or vague platitudes about empowerment. Too many women lose confidence or even give up, resigning themselves to doing without the freedom, self-respect and fun that is true financial wellbeing. This talk is for women who won't settle for less. Martha Lawton outlines practical strategies for navigating the way to wealth on our own terms and in our own names.
