It's very easy for me as a single mum to use the excuse that as a woman, I need to invest differently to man. Why?
Start Early - if you can
From a young age, investment was discussed in my home by my late father. My dad was the only man in our household - as he had 2 daughters. I invest so that I can create a financially safe future for my children and I. I also invest for the future education of my children as I DO NOT want them to have to borrow money for their education. I also invest as the job market is very risky right now - with there being no job for life. Ultimately, I would like to live off of my investments when the time comes to retire from the hustle and bustle.
Financial Adviser or Not
I've never actually had a long term financial adviser, therefore, the issue of not been able to fully communicate and comprehend my investment needs has never risen. This is not to say that I don't appreciate that it can be a mind field when it comes to understanding many of the investment options out there.
