22. Are Women *Actually* Involved in Their Finances?

Hello and happy Tuesday! In today's episode we answer the question of whether women are as involved in our finances as we want to be/need to be/should be/or the media tells us to be? This is a massive topic and one that we are both pretty passionate about...after all, we are women. There are so many facets to this topic, and before you roll your eyes thinking this is going to be a rant on fempower, hear us out. We hear all this stuff about women needing to become more actively involved in participating in their finances, that we make better investors and we need to close the gender wealth gap. So, are we? In the episode, we chat about: What does being actively involved in your finances even mean, for any gender!
