There are many ways in which we can empower women and depending on those ways, the outcomes of the empowerment can vary. By enabling women to have a control over their finances is one of the most powerful means of empowerment. This is not just something that shows the strength a woman has, but it is something that is necessary. The effort starts from teaching financial literacy and money management. By understanding the issues surrounding the money and crippling effect lack of knowledge can have, women can be set on a path of independence.
Key Takeaways:
- In order to take charge of your life, you need to take charge of your finances. Being financially independent is very empowering.
- Instead of putting others first, start saving up for your retirement as early as possible as it should be your top priority.
- Team up with an advisor and create a financial plan so that you can have a better view of the big picture and get a portfolio that matches your goals.
“I like the fact that these themes encourage women to be active and strong, and to use their talents to provide greater opportunities for everyone. And to me, one of the most effective means of doing that is through financial independence.”
