Why Women Earn and Save but Still Struggle to Build Wealth

Two clients in the same week. One earned £25,000 a year, the other £120,000. By the end of every month, both had nothing left. This is episode 2 of our Summer Reset, the 6-part summer series with my Evolution Financial Planning colleagues Katie, Client Manager and Protection Adviser, and Carol Wright, Independent Financial Adviser and Money Coach. This one unpacks the gap between earning money and building wealth: lifestyle inflation and where the pay rise really goes, the social media comparison trap, the play money principle that makes a plan actually stick, why so many women feel investing is like putting money on a roulette wheel, and the cash flow forecast that showed one client her money could last 5 or 6 years longer.
