A FEW PRACTICAL FINANCIAL TIPS YOU CAN IMPLEMENT EASILY -Sisters should really do it for themselves: “Women need to take care of themselves and not rely on a man’s pension or the thought that ‘he will take care of me’ mentality, which we as women have become so accustomed to. -Teach your children to save from a young age: “The proudest moment for me was when my son started a part time job in grade 10, followed by my younger daughter who followed suit. “This is what we need to teach the youth of today, in a world where consumerism, debt and interest enslaves the youth, saving is not valued as much as it should be. -It will never happen to me: “I have come across many women over the years who never thought they would get divorced or widowed, single mums even early disability and that’s when it’s too late. They regret not saving or not studying further taking their marriage and circumstances for granted. Don’t let yourself end up in this position.” -Invest in other women: I’m pretty sure there’s no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women. Women have a better understanding of other women and can relate unlike men, by using your knowledge which is power and doesn’t have an age limit, we can help grow our young women into dynamic leaders for tomorrow by sharing and learning from each other. We need to be more supportive and invest more in women by helping them be more confident and allowing them to collaborate, trust and believe.
