“One important thing is to instill a habit of saving from a very early age, because most kids’ early interactions with money usually involve only spending. While most women are definitely good at saving...I would like to tell them: It’s time to start your investment  journey. Goal setting gives clarity and purpose on what you want to do with your money.

The next step is having an investment strategy with help from an investment/finance professional.” Hinal Kuvadia is a Co-Founder and Principal Financial Planner at InvestorKart.
