EP289 The Pink Tax with Janine Rogan

Young Money with Tracey Bissett

Janine Rogan is a highly respected keynote and TEDx speaker who has dedicated her career to empowering women to build wealth through financial feminism. Janine's mission is to educate and inspire women to confidently and profitably grow their wealth. Despite the pervasive wage gap that has historically disadvantaged women, Janine believes that women can still achieve financial equality for all by taking small, practical steps towards financial literacy. In this episode, Janine addresses the complex issue of the Pink Tax, which is the issue of women paying more than men for everyday products and services. She explains how this, coupled with the wage gap, can significantly impact women's ability to save, invest, and accumulate wealth over their lifetimes.

Listen in as Janine emphasizes the importance of investing and negotiating for better wages, rates, and charges. She also advocates for supporting new mothers to ensure they can remain in the workforce and continue to build their wealth. With Janine's guidance, women can approach their financial literacy one step at a time, taking small, achievable actions towards financial freedom and empowerment.

“There are so many things that compound over the course of our lives that make us [as women] spend more money when we’re already learning less. This translates into how much wealth we have and how much power we have.” - Janine Rogan
