Stop blaming women for not saving or asking for enough: The 'Gender Available Savings Penalty' is everyone's business
By Lacey Filipich, A Speaker| Women's Agenda Verified Australia’s gender pay gap of 21.7 per cent is not good, but it’s far from the whole story for women. Why?

It’s also not to say that you learned about money in school.
