On 3 April, 2008, the Australian government published The Women Understanding Money fact sheets that are designed to help women of all ages and income levels improve their financial security, especially as they approach retirement.
There are 14 topics detailing real life stories will provide women with essential and practical information on important financial issues, making the fact sheets relevant and easy to understand. The information is communicated in plain English and uses personal stories, tips and jargon busters to provide women with a practical resource to learn more about their money and the importance of preparing for retirement.
A lot of women are organised and successful in their lives, but when it comes to taking control of their money, they put it off for any number of reasons from finding it stressful or boring to thinking the future's too far away to worry about. The good news is that putting yourself in charge of your money is not as hard as you think, and a few simple things done regularly can make a real difference - now and in the future.
Money may not make you happy, but putting yourself in charge of your money and planning for your future today can give you more choice about how you live your life. So it's worth taking the time to think about your goals, know where your money goes and get into the savings habit now to make the most of your money in the future. Understanding money can really pay off, and the earlier you start with good money habits, the better off you'll be.
The fact sheets have personal stories that a lot of women will relate to, as well as tips and jargon busters to help you understand what it all means.
Women understanding money is a joint initiative of the Foundation and the Office for Women, developed in consultation with Security4Women.
