You’d never run a company with no budget and no plan. So why are you running your own life that way?

Are you the unpaid CFO of your own life, doing the job badly without even knowing it?

Most women who wing it with money aren’t careless. Nobody ever sat them down and taught them. Melanie left home at 18 with no one to explain the basics. Kristin grew up surrounded by money until 2008 changed everything for her family. Dagmar was a university graduate on a good salary, sure her retirement was “taken care of.” It wasn’t.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• The signs you’re running your finances on autopilot
• How much money you need before winging it becomes a choice instead of a risk
• The pension trap catching women who have built careers across more than one European country

If you finish this episode realising you’ve been winging it, good. That’s the best place to start.
