Helping women reach their financial goals with Kristine Beese of Untangle Money

When Kristine Beese was in the financial services industry she came upon a shocking statistic: On average, over the course of their careers a man will earn $1 million more than a woman In fact, for every $1 of net wealth that men have, women only have $0.32 And this gap is *growing* What this means for women is that we need to make different financial decisions than men in order to achieve our financial goals This realization led Kristine to create Untangle Money, a business that provides financial planning products focused on the needs of women. Here's what we talk about: - Why the first iteration of her business didn’t work (and what she did about it) - How she picked herself back up after a major setback in her business - Heard of the pay gap? You might not have heard of the gender *wealth* gap - Why the old financial model doesn’t work for women and what we need to do to make our finances work for us - Real advice on what you should be doing with your money, including whether you should pay off your mortgage, save money, invest, or pay down debt - Why saving for retirement might look different from what you’ve been told (this blew me away!) - Her experience going on Dragon’s Den, what she would do differently, and how it changed her business Connect with Untangle Money: https://www.untangle.money/ https://www.instagram.com/untanglemoney Connect with me: https://www.instagram.com/itsnicolehaney/https://www.linkedin.com/in/msnicolehaney/https://www.nicolehaney.com/
