I'd like to start by saying that these are my personal thoughts, you are free to believe otherwise.

Women are more compassionate, thoughtful and open-minded. This is why we make financial decisions that don't allow us to lose sight of the things we most value. For most women, investing isn't just about making money.

It's about being in the position to not only thrive but also to give back — and what that means is different to each person. Some may want time to volunteer, and others may want money to donate.

I started reading Financial Feminist by Tori Dunlap, thanks to the helpful suggestions on my last post, and I couldn't agree more on her views about this.

I have only started teaching myself about finance and already my goal is to create a better future for myself AND THOSE WHO ARE DEAR TO ME.

I have noticed that men tend to have a scarcity mindset, they just want to grab onto all the money they can get their hands on and they surely "make a taller fence". Also, they seem to go all in when in comes to investing.

Women also tend to be more cautious about taking risks, so they invest less aggressively. However using a more consistent investing approach, even if it's slower, can be ideal and give better long-term results.

Feel free to share your thoughts if you don't agree, let's enlighten each other with constructive conversations.
