There was much to think about Tuesday evening at our after-work meeting "Let's talk about money", where we welcomed together with Anne Connelly, founder of herMoney - Finanzfitness für Frauen:
1. What can we do to close the gender pay gap? 2 How do I invest my money in low interest periods? 3 And what do I do when life, not death, divides us?
And the answers to that are certainly connected with emotions. For it is about power, childhood memories, losses (actual or potential) and relationships. Especially those that end in money. In short, it's about people, their personal stories and motives.
Our board member Dr. Holger Sepp made the start. His family environment is all female - including the family bitch. Birgit Wetjen's motivation to make sure that women strive for more money and talk about it also has a family character. In the concluding discussion round, family lawyer Vera Knatz explained to us why it would be best for them to do this before marriage. Madeleine Sander and Kerstin Kern finally showed us how exactly women can best build up their wealth.
