Vestpod Newsletter: Helping women feel good about money

Hello Product Hunters! I am Emilie, founder of @vestpod. Thank you @abadesi for your kind invitation! I worked in private equity for 8 years and while I was good at earning money I realised I was lacking personal finance education and feeling lost managing my money. The wake-up call was after an awkward meeting I had with my financial advisor years ago. The very first thing he said to me was “Where is your husband”? Women drive the world economy, and are family breadwinners but they aren’t saving enough for retirement, even if they live longer than men. Women also earn on average 80 cents to a man dollar. At the same time, professional financial advice is expensive, intimidating and not well-adjusted to the challenges women face. The money related stress that countless of us face directly translates to low productivity at work, absenteeism and a higher employee turnover rate. For me, like most people, talking about money is a very personal topic and is still taboo. Vestpod is the newsletter that makes you feel good about money. We want to empower 1 million women financially by making personal finance more accessible, relevant and... interesting! Our voice is unique and we think it’s time to break the taboo by learning from peers. Vestpod is an online platform & a free weekly newsletter. We provide 24/7 access to independent, unbiased and up-to-date guidance regarding all financial aspects in life.

Thank you for your support, we would love to hear your feedback and suggestions! Emilie, Vestpod founder

Great to see you here @vestpod @emilieldn - could you tell us more about the most common questions you help answer?

@vestpod @abadesi Thank you for your message! "How/where to start investing my money?" "Where to save money?" "How to reduce my cost of childcare" "How can I get on the property ladder when full-time employed/self-employed" "Should I consolidate my pensions?" are very popular. But our readers also love the interview series to understand how "real" people manage their finances!
