If the average chick buys only ONE pair of shoes every year, the money saved could buy her a nice property! SAVE girl, SAVE.

I'd like to share this piece with you...

Women are less likely than men to put money into a savings account regularly, and those who do typically save less.

If you want to kick-start the savings habit, set up a direct debit which deposits a fixed sum into a savings account at the start of each month after pay day.

Don’t be tempted to leave it to the end of the month and see what is left — the chances are you will have spent it already.

Many women want to keep their money in an accessible account, not least because they often have more irregular earning patterns than men, with some taking time out of the workplace to bring up children, for example.

Building a nest egg will give you this flexibility — and if you save into a cash ISA the money is available as and when you need it. If you want, you can always convert this into a pension at a later date, to take advantage of the valuable tax relief.

And don’t rely on meeting Mr Right.

Carrie Bradshaw may have found her Mr Big but how will it turn out in the end?

Don’t bank on finding a ready-made man — start standing on your own two feet now.

If a rich guy does appear, he may be pleased that you’re able to provide for yourself — at least he’ll know you aren’t after him for his money!

DON'T YOU AGREE?
