BUSINESS

saving towards your retirement.
It’s never too early. If you can,
avoid impulse buying of more
bags, shoes and clothes, you can
manage the ones you already
have and channel some of such
extra funds to your future.

Additional note: It is important
that you constantly self-
develop, boost your earning
ability and stay marketable.
Whether or not you currently
have a job, think ahead. Hone
your skills regularly, seek more
challenging responsibilities, build
relationships with your colleagues
and supervisors and check to
see if there are any certifications
you can add to boost your
professional value. Invest in
yourself, take courses (there are
plenty of free classes online).

Finally, I will say that it is
extremely important for all
women – whether married, single,
separated, widowed or divorced
to be financially independent. A
monthly pay cheque in your bank
account alone cannot render
you capable of meeting all your
financial goals. It is how you plan
and manage your finances today
that will result in a more fulfilling
and financially dependent life in
the coming years.
