Episode 26: Financial Independence with Lena Patel

Next up in our guest series is Lena Patel – multi award winning Chartered Financial Planner at ISJ Financial Planning Ltd and Financial Adviser of the Year at the Growth Investor Awards. Lena joins us on The Unfairer Sex podcast to discuss financial independence, the impact of the sandwich generation and how we need to reframe how we think about money.  **PLEASE NOTE** the contents of the episode will share stories and general information on financial planning only. With this in mind, if something we talk about resonates with your personal situation, this is purely coincidental. Everything we discuss will be non-specific to individual needs and before any action is taken by listeners, we recommend you seek professional advice and conduct your own independent research on your financial situation. Should you require more information about UK pensions, benefits or other financial-specific information, we recommend heading to the UK Government website for the latest updates. If you seek more specialist advice for your finances, we recommend heading to Unbias.co.uk to find your local financial advisor – or reach out to Lena at ISJ Financial Planning. **** Links from the episode: https://uksaysnomore.org/uk-says-no-more-joins-forces-with-hsbc-uk-for-financial-abuse-campaign/ Women regret divorce less than men, Paul Dolan https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandwellbeing/articles/morethanoneinfoursandwichcarersreportsymptomsofmentalillhealth/2019-01-14 https://www.unbiased.co.uk/news/financial-adviser/women-lag-behind-men-in-pension-planning https://www.insuringwomensfutures.co.uk/uploads/2018/10/Womens-pensions-life-journey-23-10-c6.pdf
