Birchgrove resident Lillie Cawthorn was dismayed to discover Australian women retire on an average of only $138,000 - roughly half the amount men have for their retirement. Worse, there seemed an apathy amongst women to realize the impact of this on their future, and confusion about how to change the situation. Lillie decided to write a book to inspire women (and men) to take control of their financial future. When researching for The Money Factory - How Any Woman Can Make An Extra $30,000 to $100,000 Passive Income, Lillie discovered very few women had heard of industrial real estate.
