Life & Money

Life You Choose

We believe that every women needs financial independence to live the life they want, today, tomorrow and in retirement. We would like to get an understanding how women feel about these topics too and where they are at with life and money.

The answers to the following questions will help us (and you) get a better understanding on the views of women today. It's important to remember - there are no wrong or right answers! Please don't over think them, your first reaction is likely the most accurate for you. While we would love you to add comments if you feel strongly about the question, comments are optional and don't feel you have to provide any. 

The contest to win $50 gift card/program credit, will run until 30 Jun, 2020, contest rules can be found here.

Thanks for taking the time to do our survey and if we can help you further email kerry.ashbrook@lifeyouchoose.com.au
