Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for ambitious corporate women who expect more from their careers.
My guests today are Jacqui Irwin and Ingrid Thompson and our focus today is on women saving for their retirement.
Jacqui says:
"A lot of women are saving for their grown up children, often at the expense of their own retirement, e.g. giving kids deposits for houses or allowing them to live at home rent-free. But please get your own retirement plan in place first! The best gift you can give your children is teaching them independence!" (Jacqui Irwin, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)

Ingrid says:
"Women are avoiding addressing the issue and feel overwhelmed by the volume of information out there. More than 70% of retirees say they wish they had invested more and started earlier - the earlier the better because of compound interest largely, which works 24/7 for you." (Ingrid Thompson, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
