Take control of your finances. How about dusting off the paperwork before the end of the year - it’s time to get the house in order! Vivian Slattery from Monetary Solutions, and chair of the Woman Adviser and Broker Group will join us to give us some insight into the financial matters we shouldn’t be ignoring in these uncertain financial times and some advice on how to go about it. Especially, as Vivian will tell you, these days it is normally women who are making the money decisions!
