To help women become more confident in their financial management skills

According to the report, within the household, wives are responsible for small purchases, with 58% of women managing weekly expenses compared to 32% of men. In contrast, husbands are responsible for family savings (51% of men compared to 42% of women), investments (50% of men and 34% of women) and major purchases (47% of men and 27% of women).

This leads to women's lack of confidence in their ability to create and implement family financial plans, with only 42% of women feeling fully equipped with financial knowledge compared to 54% of men. So how can women manage their money more intelligently and proactively?

BAC A BANK's Nest Builder savings product has many incentives and an additional interest rate that is extremely attractive to women.

Build a spending plan

To avoid asking the question “where does the money go?”, women need to estimate the fixed monthly expenses that need to be prioritized in the family budget and set limits for flexible expenses without “overspending”. Especially, they need to be strict with themselves to avoid falling into the trap of shopping, set principles when choosing goods/services - avoid the situation where the total expenditure for small purchases often exceeds the large purchases.

In particular, for annual recurring expenses such as tuition, insurance, health care, etc., women can base on the payment time to set up short-term savings corresponding to the time they can "save" in the account.

Regularly monitor income and expenses

Nowadays, there are many financial management applications on the phone - providing women with simple and scientific tools to track income and expenses. Make a habit of recording daily and regularly review to compare changes in individual/household consumption behavior at different stages, thereby making appropriate adjustments to ensure stable and sustainable family financial capacity.

And don't forget that non-cash payment methods are very popular today such as online payment, e-wallet, QR pay... with many undeniable conveniences. Smart linking with bank accounts and easy transaction lookup via Internet banking/Mobile banking also helps women control their expenses faster and more effectively.

Choose the right savings channel

Besides the method of "increasing income and reducing expenses", women must definitely save money to prepare for and serve future spending needs. It is best to take out a portion of your income each month to deposit in the bank and spend the remaining money or deposit money immediately when there is unusual income.
