With the context that only 53% of women feel financially independent, Kara Swift invited Lucy Taylor to discuss her mission to encourage women to make sure they are financially future proofed and strong.

In a conversation that focusses on how to move from financial vulnerability to financial resilience, they discuss:

• The division of decisions within a relationship
• The difference between being part of a married or unmarried couple
• How Cohabitation Agreements can provide financial certainty for unmarried women
• How a pre-nuptial agreement can set the tone for a financially healthy marriage
• Paying your future self – the importance of keeping up pension contributions if you take a career beak
• Get out funds
• Planning for the next chapter whether that is older age or single life.
