We’re back again with some of our favourite moments from this year’s Money Matters festival! You’re about to hear a talk by husband and wife duo: Ken and Mary Okoroafor from The Humble Penny - all about financial joy and living the life you want. 

Having swiftly cleared their mortgage and achieved financial independence by Ken's 34th birthday, they opted to prioritise family time and pursue their passions. 

In this conversation, they delve into the concept of financial joy and share insights on how individuals can chart their path towards living a fulfilling life.

On March 3rd, 2024, Vestpod's Money Matters festival took centre stage at the iconic KOKO in Camden, London. In this panel discussion, we deep dive into ways to empower women financially and tackle important challenges, such as the gender wage gap, limited access to financial resources, and barriers to career progression.
