ICR178: Kalpana Fitzpatrick, Mummy Money Matters

ICR178: Kalpana Fitzpatrick, Mummy Money Matters

My guest on the podcast today is Kalpana Fitzpatrick, founder of Mummy Money Matters.

Kalpana is an experienced financial journalist and broadcaster, who started her blog after she discovered that mums were often overlooked and kept out of the loop when it came to money.

As well as editing and writing for Mummy Money Matters, Kalpana appears regularly in the media as an expert commentator on personal finance and is often seen on television.

Kalpana was recently shortlisted for the Women in Journalism Awards and the National Press Awards 2016 and also the runner up for Personal Finance Blog of the year SHOMOS 2016.

She is extremely passionate about making finance simple and accessible as well as helping consumers make the most of their money.

As a parent herself, Kalpana often found that families were presented with jargon, making finance unnecessarily complicated, resulting in many missing out on entitlements and putting their money in poor returning products.

In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, I speak to Kalpana about why mums are often overlooked when it comes to personal finances, the importance of financial education for children, favourite ways to scrimp and save money, why women should have a freedom fund, and much more.

Welcome to Mummy Money Matters with Kalpana Fitzpatrick, in episode 178 of Informed Choice Radio.
