Empowering Financial Freedom: 6 Essential Insights for Women on International Women’s Day

​Six things every woman should know about their financial success on International Women’s Day

Planning to succeed is integral, you don’t need to be buying a property to speak with a mortgage broker, it could be part of your plan in years to come, and they can be part of your success planning

Knowing where your money goes each month, is integral… there are so many cheap, or free money management tools out there, so start tracking, work out where you can improve your cash flow, and move faster towards your savings / investment / home ownership goals

The impact of maternity leave on your retirement strategy in years to come can be enormous. Thinking about how you might counter this impact, through additional super contributions, a more aggressive debt reduction, or savings plan, or having an agreement with your partner that during that time away from the workforce you will supplement your super with additional contributions to not leave you behind in later years, is important to forward plan for.

Delegating our chores around the home, so you can focus on your work, career and family, and remain hyper focussed on the things you value, is key where you have big goals - contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to do it all!

Assuming you cannot buy a home, without consulting a mortgage broker, would be a big mistake. There are a lot of misconceptions in the community, and asking questions, will help you get to where you want to go faster.

Having boundaries to ensure your body, and mind are as best as you can be, is integral to success. Remember, you have to put your face mask on first, before you can help anyone else, and you need to be in the right place, to be a great boss, staff member, parent or friend. Running yourself into the ground, never helped anyone!
