Money Matters
Financial Health for a Female Litigator
Financial decisions need not be alien to a woman. An independent earning individual should be in a position to make discerning financial investments, for the long run. Investments are not to be looked at as a short sprint, but as a long marathon- uninfluenced by momentary lulls and dips in the market and not entirely risk-averse. Fixed deposits, equity, debt, bull and bear markets, insurance, real estate, gold- listen in to find an investment suitable for you.
