90% of women will be solely responsible for their finances at some point in their lives, yet women report lower levels of financial knowledge than men. April is National Financial Literacy Month – consider a Foundation seminar for a topic new to you and boost your financial confidence. #FinancialLiteracyMonth https://lnkd.in/gJDA72aT

"Time is the fuel that ignites the flame of future wealth." The same goes with every aspect of life whether it is a skill, income or knowledge. It takes time to learn and gain knowledge about anything but it is worth with patience and consistency. Today, there are many terms that one should know about but not everyone have adequate knowledge. Finance is one of those terms. We engage in personal financing everyday but not all of us know it with the perspective of gaining knowledge. Siddhi Gupta is conducting a survey on financial literacy specifically among women. Kindly, spare 2 minutes of your precious time and fill the survey form below with just a few questions 👇 so that we can proceed further with great results. Your cooperation will be appreciated. 🙂 https://lnkd.in/gf3FF7Gk

There is not only an overall low-level of financial literacy population-wide but also a yawning gap between men and women in financial literacy and inclusion. Historically, women were not granted financial independence but over time this has changed. Yet, a lot of these financially independent women still rely on male members of their household to make financial decisions for them. Most of the times, women don't get involved in managing their finances until they are left with no choice. Herein lies the urgent need to change the narrative for women on their relationship with money. Women should be able to talk about their money honestly, and confidently. Financial independence is not enough. Women need to be financially literate. On this occasion of International Women's Day, we would like to share with you an initiative to promote financial literacy among all but particularly among women and young adults - Dhan Diksha. 'Dhan' means Wealth and 'Diksha' means preparation or initiation. Dhan Diksha will prepare you to understand, manage and grow your finances. To support our initiative, you can take this short survey and also share it with others. You can also follow this page to stay updated. https://lnkd.in/gte9YeCb

For many of us, financial literacy begins at home. Parents—even when they aren’t actively imparting financial lessons—are modeling spending and saving behaviors that influence how children think and feel about money. In celebration of Mother’s Day this past weekend, check out this Q & A for an inspiring conversation across three generations of women. https://ow.ly/k9y650REMPe
