What do women want?
this is an awesome click bait and the problem is most of the people clicking would be men!!
Sorry men.
I am asking babies, girls, and young women what kind of articles do they want to see here
Men who deal with women as clients or as advisers could also reply…please give me topics/questions
this is for a woman’s website where we will be doing some vlogs – video blogs – answering some of these questions
NO QUESTION is too stupid, to simple, too difficult, too hard….just go to the comment section and comment please…
thanks

More info on wills. I know this is technically not a finance topic and more a lawyer topic perhaps but since wills are so important for financial stability after a loved one’s death, I would appreciate some more helpful tips on this.
Also – simple books on finance for kids / pre-teens / teens. I do read your blog regularly but would like to introduce financial literacy to an younger audience.

1. As a mother of a 22 yr old who has just started working, how do I convince kids of this generation to start investing a portion of their income for their future right from their first job when all they want to do is to save for vacations with friends
2. It would be good if there is an article on the pros and cons of doing reverse mortgage versus renting out if you have a second house/property
3. How to gauge the amount of health cover you should have while in 50s, 60s and above i.e. what are the parameters on should take into account to decide on a figure.

As a working woman – these topics come up a lot in discussion with my friends. Some of these may have already been covered in old posts on your blog:
1. Importance of taking control of one’s finances
2. Should finances be joint or separate from husband?
3. How to protect one’s financial security post marriage
4. Why it is important to prepare for the worst – death , divorce, etc
5. How and why one should write a will
6. Importance of planning for retirement – women should be more serious about this as their life expectancy is atleast 3-5 years more than men. Anecdotally – it is actually about 10 years. More women need to be prepared for this eventuality
7. How to manage money DURING retirement and old age – most articles are about how to get to a retirement corpus. Some articles on how to manage money when one is say, 85 and in poor health would be useful. Useful vehicles like laddered annuities, reverse mortgage, etc for an investor who is in too poor health to do active management
8. Common investing biases of women and how to avoid them (gold jewellery, real estate). A hard-hitting article on why gold jewellery is NOT the best investment would be great!
As you can see – most of the articles are more about behaviour/culture and that’s where I believe there is the biggest gap. After all – the market does not differentiate between a male or female investor!
