Episode Details

Women are increasingly turning to short-term financial fixes like borrowing from friends, using “buy now, pay later” services, and relying on credit cards to cover everyday bills — with 67% using some form of quick cash support in the past year. Compared to men, women are more likely to feel financially worse off, with 33% reporting a decline in their situation over the last year and 37% feeling less secure since 2020. This pressure is also derailing long-term planning: 60% of women haven’t touched savings or investments in three months, and fewer own cash or stocks and shares ISAs. Experts say the immediate struggle to pay bills makes investing feel like a luxury — and cash feels safer, even if it’s not the best strategy for the future.
