Women can’t manage money?

Shirley Conran, who knows a thing or two about money, is sure that many women never learn how to get it, use it and keep it. She has produced an interactive maths course e-book called Money Stuff, to help with this, and ran a survey so as to have the figures at her finger-tips. The results proved her point.

95% of UK women say they were never taught how to manage personal finances in school. More than half of them don’t think they will ever be able to afford property and few of them do anything about life insurance. Conran, who used to be women’s editor of The Observer magazine and The Daily Mail, has put together her 4 step maths course e-book to give a bit of practical help. She doesn’t, of course, say how you should manage money if you haven’t got any, but as those notices in garages say, Miracles Take A Little Longer.
