Why is it important for women to understand money?
Because women are now responsible for more assets than ever before in history! (and I for one don’t want to see that number go backwards!)
Did you know it is estimated that women now control 30% of global private wealth? And that number is estimated to grow at 7% annually!
Did you know that women are using that money to start businesses at THREE TIMES the rate when compared to male entrepreneurs? Incredible!
Did you know that all-women investing clubs outperform and get higher returns than their all-male counterparts 9 times out of 10?
I guess we’re not quite as “emotional” as we’ve been told.
Turns out that when we understand money we’re kinda badass with it.
So when I hear a woman say that she doesn’t need to understand finances because “someone else takes care of that” or that money isn’t really “her thing”, I cringe.
I believe, down to my core, that women should learn about, understand, and take responsibility for their finances.
I believe that we owe it to ourselves, to our daughters, and to our communities, to lead in this arena.
I believe that the world is a better place when women take the lead in this field.
I know these are big statements and I know many of you will be bothered by them. Money is an extremely triggering topic.
But I’ve never been one to shy away from big topics or controversy.
