The Wallet

💸 Have you ever struggled to know your worth? Does the idea of negotiating your rates or salary fill you with dread? What can we do, in practice, to help build our confidence to ask for more?

These are some of the questions we discussed with Insaff El Hassini, an expert and a coach on salary negotiation, a career & business mentor and a fierce advocate for women’s economic and financial rights.

Having traveled the world to teach over 5,000 women how to defend their fair value on the job market, she is the perfect expert for this subject.

The Wallet is hosted by Emilie Bellet - founder of Vestpod (a platform that helps women to save and invest more and provides money resources to financially empower women) and author of You’re Not Broke, You’re Pre-Rich.

💸This year has definitely not been the easiest financially. It’s been especially tricky for anyone with a mortgage or considering buying a home - with higher interest rates and inflation, making a decision on what the best options are for your money is difficult to say the least. 

We decided to speak to independent freelance investment journalist Moira O'Neill to get her opinion on whether it makes more sense to pay down your mortgage or invest in the stock market, the best ways of reviewing your existing mortgage, how to prevent inflation from eroding your savings, and more.

💸Blockchain technology, crypto and Web3 - you may have come across these terms, but what exactly do they mean, and how will they affect our lives? What is the technology all about and why have there been so many controversies surrounding crypto?

Please note an important point: cryptocurrency exchange FTX, at one stage the second largest company of its type in the world, filed for bankruptcy in November leaving many users unable to withdraw their funds. Its CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, has since been arrested and charged with fraud. We recorded this episode prior to his arrest.

Regardless of the controversies, we thought it would still be valuable to understand the tech behind Web3, which is why today, I speak to Marieke Flament. Marieke is a French-born computer engineer and CEO of the NEAR Foundation, a Swiss-based non-profit that oversees the governance and development of its namesake blockchain.

💸According to the Bank of England (2020), "A typical UK household spends over £700 more in December compared to other months".⁠ Considering that this year is financially tough on so many families, the pressure to spend money on countless presents, Christmas decorations and mountains of festive food can feel especially difficult. So how do we stay sane this season while still enjoying the holidays?

💸 Investing helps us grow our savings, build wealth, and support projects we believe in. But the gender wage gap and other barriers often put women at an investing disadvantage compared to their male counterparts. According to UK investment statistics, just 10 per cent of women have a stocks and shares ISA, compared to 17 per cent of men.

So what do we need to do to boost our investing confidence and where do we start?
