This episode of the Standard Issue Podcast is sponsored by A.J. Bell Money Matters, helping women to feel good investing.

No doubt you'll have heard us talk about the gender pay gap, but did you know there's also a gender investment gap in the UK of 1.65 trillion pounds.

So after spending our whole working lives worse off than men through a lack of pensions, savings and investments, we're more likely to be worse off in

retirement too. A.J. Bell think women need to talk more openly about money. It

shouldn't be embarrassing or confusing and I agree. The A.J. Bell Money Matters campaign was founded in 2021 and offers a range of

educational material including in-person events, podcasts, articles and more to help get women

talking about money.

The AJ Bell Money Matters podcast has all the news, information and inspiring interviews you need

to take control of your financial future.

Listen to it, wherever you found this podcast.

We also talk about how future historians are going to make sense of these wild times
