The 14th August is Financial Awareness Day, so it’s a great time to reflect on your personal finances and make sure that we are doing all that we can to prepare for the future.
Take the time to go through all of your accounts, bank statements, and credit card bills. Make sure everything is up to date and accurate.
Think about what you’d like to accomplish financially in the next year or two–whether it’s paying off debt, saving for a home, or investing for retirement.
Research different types of investments and find out what kind of investment best suits your goals. Read books and articles, listen to podcasts, or take an online course.
Figure out how much money you have coming in each month, track where you’re spending your money, and figure out how much money you can save each month.
A financial planner can help you make the most of your money by creating an effective plan for managing your finances, setting realistic lifestyle and financial goals, and providing advice on how to reach them.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance and may not be repeated. Capital is at risk; investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amounts originally invested.

In today’s modern world, women juggle an increasing number of roles, from being a parent, caregivers, building a career and supporting their partners, all the while thinking ahead to the kind of future they want for their children. One of the most powerful gifts we can give them is a sense of financial security and the freedom to pursue their dreams.
Career breaks are a natural part of many women’s professional journeys, whether due to maternity leave, caregiving responsibilities, menopause, or a personal choice to step away and recalibrate. While these pauses can be rewarding and necessary, they can also create financial challenges — from reduced income to disrupted long-term savings.
