There is a common perception that women often postpone investing or managing their financial health. Many may have an employer's retirement fund, some money in savings for the future, and possibly hold reasonable amounts of cash at home for unexpected expenses, but that may be the extent of their financial planning. While this does not apply to all women, there is some truth to the idea that many are grappling with beliefs that limit their financial opportunities and potential. By not fully embracing their financial power, women may be hindering not only their own growth but also the growth of their families, communities, and economies at large.
Despite facing these challenges, many women continue to succeed, though they often struggle to manage their investments with confidence. In today's episode, Amrita Sethi, a financial advisor turned NFT artist, discusses the importance of financial planning for women. She covers essential topics in personal finance and offers advice tailored for individuals at any stage of their lives, regardless of gender.
