Financial Planning for Women
Why should women have a financial plan & how is it different?
Financial planning, indeed, is more important for women than men. It makes up for the gender gap, differences in career orientations, and the overall female investment lags. Women are likely to live longer than men after retirement, precisely for 25 more years, on an average. Female financial planning, therefore, stands out to be more important!
