Why women need to take charge of their financial planning

George Herald

|

July 17, 2025

In today's world, financial independence is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity, and this is especially true for women. Women often face unique financial challenges: lower average earnings, career breaks for childbearing, caregiving to children as well as parents, and longer life expectancies. These factors make it essential to plan proactively for a successful future.

Taking control of their own financial planning is one of the most powerful steps toward long-term security, personal freedom, and peace of mind.

Having your own knowledge and financial structure in place means you're prepared, not vulnerable.

Many women delay investing or leave key financial decisions to either their partners or their fathers. But being actively involved in your own finances is crucial, no matter what your relationship status.
