Must read for all the ladies out there or anyone who cares about the women in their lives financial futures. Things seemed to be stacked against ladies from "pink taxes," making less money than our male counterparts, and living longer (a good thing, right?!) so we need to have more money to accommodate our retirement goals. Worth the time & thought.
More great writing from Sallie and a call to arms for women to take control of their finances and invest for their futures. A good summary of Own It and a timely reminder to start investing now. (Would be 5 stars if Ellevest operated in the UK!)
Will save this one and come back to it again & again. A quote I LOVED: “Mentoring naturally causes you to reflect on your younger self, and the things you’ve achieved for her.” -Sallie Krawchech
Important points to empower women to invest and take charge of their careers and financial futures. Sally Krawcheck is an essential financial counterpart to Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" message.
