You’ve built a home, maybe taken a career break for your kids—but do you know what’s happening with your money?

In this no-fluff episode, personal finance advisor Arpita Sinha joins Rinie to unpack the 5 biggest money mistakes Indian women make after marriage or motherhood—and how to fix them.

From letting your husband handle everything to never investing a rupee, this episode will make you rethink your entire approach to money.

What you’ll learn:

• Why blindly outsourcing money matters to your husband is a risky move
•  How to structure joint and personal bank accounts as a couple
•  What to do if you don’t have your “own” money right now
•  Why saving in gold and FDs isn’t enough—and how to actually start investing
•  The mindset shift from “save what’s left” to “save first, then spend”
•  How to prepare financially before taking a career break
•  The importance of knowing your family’s financial documents, passwords, and policies

This is not a lecture—it’s the money chat every Indian woman needs to hear.
