Thanks to everyone who entered our contest as part of THE GLOSS | Goodbody Make Every Decade Count series on the Invest in You hub, designed to support women with free financial education to learn to build wealth with intention – decade by decade. The winner of the Ireland Blue Book voucher simply subscribed to the Investment Club newsletter and emailed [email protected] to share how her financial perspective has evolved.

“In my 40s, the focus has shifted to futureproofing. My pension is a bigger priority than ever as I maximise AVCs (Additional Voluntary Contributions) while continuing to balance my mortgage, a rainy-day fund, and the growing costs of raising a pre-teen and teenager. I’m much more aware of the returns I’m earning – both on savings and investments – and focused on making my money work harder. At the same time, I recognise that my future earning potential is more defined, so managing it well is more important than ever.”

Investing Masterclass  

Every decade brings the opportunity to build new knowledge. Your 40s are an ideal time to explore our Investing Masterclass – a practical, self-paced educational series designed to strengthen financial understanding and confidence. Topics range from starting your investment journey and understanding market trends to financial planning, pensions guidance and inheritance planning.  

This is the decade where confidence meets shifting realities – and where clarity turns experience into stronger decisions. Make it count.
