It’s rude to talk about money, right? Wrong. Money really matters. From knowing your worth to understanding the gender investment gap and how to close it, we’re here to help women have more open conversations about money and investing. Because the truth, is women in the UK have less than half the levels of savings and investments as men*. At AJ Bell we’re passionate about helping people invest – so that statistic really bothers us. Money Matters is our programme to put this right, through a range of educational material to help women get to grips with investing. As well as this website, that includes a regular newsletter, a podcast, and webinars all designed with female investors in mind. So what are you waiting for? Join the conversation today.

This episode of the Money Matters podcast digs into student finances, how much debt will you end up with, when do you start to pay it back and how do you support yourself whilst you’re studying? The latest figures from the Student Loans Company show the total national student debt is valued at £161 billion.
Danni talks to two graduates from the University of Leeds, Bronwen Jones and Connie Steen, who are just setting out on what they hope will be successful careers, but they talk about how they feel being saddled with such high debt and their tips for budgeting whilst studying.
Laura gets the lowdown from Ola Majekodunmi from All Things Money, an online community which helps younger people navigate their finances, about how student finance actually works, why it might involve tricky conversations with your parents and what happens when you start to repay it.
