Women's cricket has long been underfunded and undervalued compared to the men's game, and the Women's T20 World Cup is an opportunity to celebrate how far it's come. The first over will be bowled on 12 June at Edgbaston – will you be watching?
A T20 cricket match lasts around three hours. With just twenty overs per team, every ball counts. There's no time to ease yourself in gently or leave it until later in the innings. You have to start playing from the moment you walk out to the crease.
I speak to a lot of women who feel they've missed their financial innings altogether.
They spent their thirties raising children or supporting a partner's career.
Their forties managing a household and holding everything together.
And now, in their fifties, they look at their pension and wonder if it's too late to do anything meaningful about it.
I promise you. It isn't.
If you're 50 with a modest pension pot, ten to fifteen years of serious contributions, combined with employer matching and tax relief, can still build something substantial. If you're 45 and starting from scratch, time and compounding are still firmly on your side.
The mistake is waiting for the perfect moment to begin, because that moment doesn't exist. The best time to start your financial innings was twenty years ago. The second-best time is now.
What's one thing you could do this month to take your finances more seriously?
