How Women Can Build Wealth Despite the Pay Gap

Building wealth isn’t only about how much you earn. For many women, career breaks, caregiving and a longer retirement mean financial plans need to work differently, and the earlier that’s understood, the more options you have. In this video, Helen Thomas, Private Wealth Manager at Melbourne Capital Group, shares five practical strategies women can use to close the wealth gap. They include paying yourself first, maximising employer contributions, building assets in your own name, and making financial planning a joint decision. She also covers how to plan career breaks without losing ground, including how to build flexibility into your plan during your highest-earning years. It’s intended for women at any stage of their career who want a clearer, more practical view of their financial future, and for partners who want to plan together.
