Key Takeaways:
When women start talking about money, with people that they’re comfortable with, they quickly find that they can do more of it.
The industry is set in such a way that men will die with too much money and women will die with too little money.
The majority of women don’t invest. Instead, they keep their money in cash, which has its good sides, but at the end of the day, they keep losing money.
It's great to share an advisor with your partner, or even better, you can have your own advisor.
