Baroness Helena Morrissey on managing family finances with nine children
On this week's episode of the AJ Bell Money Matters podcast, we speak to our Founding Ambassador, Baroness Helena Morrissey, about how she manages her family finances with nine children. With tips for people with or without children, Helena shares her biggest learnings and how she has balanced a career and family life.
Danni and Laura also flag up an important date for women who have taken time out of the work place and might have gaps in their national insurance contributions - something which could stop them getting the full state pension in retirement. Plus they delve into why so many women put off managing their pension despite living for longer than men on average.
