Recent years have shown us just how vital it is to have a ‘rainy day’ savings fund that you can call on at a moment’s notice. Traditional advice goes that, if possible, you should have three to six months’ salary stashed away in an easy-access account.

But women also need to INVEST way more than they do; whether that’s adding more to a workplace or personal pension, or investing in a Lifetime ISA or a Stocks and Shares ISA.
Yes, saving is less risky because your money is protected and you can get to it quickly. But it also has far less potential for meaningful returns. This is particularly true in the current high inflation environment, as cash savings will lose value in ‘real’ terms over time (i.e you’ll be able to buy less with your money in the future than you can now).
