Yeah, that's like a quarter of a million dollars for pink razors, pink T-shirts, more expensive haircuts, all the other lady stuff.

I guess that's why we wrote this book.

Like, you know, for me, my wake-up was, like, finding out that women were much more likely to retire into poverty.

And I had thought, like you said before, like, I was like, I thought we sorted that out ages ago.

Like, it was going to be okay, but...

We wrote this book because we wanted to get women upset and angry enough to take care of their financial well-being and do everything they could to get clear about money and grow their wealth and not retire into poverty.

We want more money in the hands of more women.

Oh, there's the great wealth transfer that's happening.

Do you know about that?

I'd been overseas.

I'd been living in America for like eight or 10 years and I had to come home because my mum was terminal.

So I was like, okay.

So I get back to New Zealand and I was a filmmaker for like 20 years and then I was roaming around, you know, the world doing whatever I wanted and, yeah.

I didn't even have a KiwiSaver.

I was like 48 years old and I've got a dying mother and I'm working with Ange and Ange is working for looking, doing a campaign for Super Super.

And she's like, do you know that we're all a lot more likely to retire into poverty?

And I was like, I can see how that's going to happen to me.

Like I can actually, that's the path that I'm on.

Like I haven't, I've just been,

just been having a really fun time and making art, which pays quite poorly.
