How I started investing after inheriting money, with Ruth Taylor

If you suddenly inherited money, would you know what to do with it? Most people don't, and neither did Ruth Taylor, who inherited a significant sum from a friend.

With money comes responsibility, especially when it used to belong to someone else. It takes a lot of research, learning and even soul-searching to understand the practicalities of managing an unexpected sum of cash.

Ruth Taylor spoke to Vestpod about how she set out to embark on this accelerated financial literacy journey essentially from scratch: from inheriting the money, working with a financial adviser and making this money work harder with investing. Ruth's now arrived at a point where she feels comfortable in her decisions - but it wasn't always easy. We talk about emotions around money, risk, financial privilege, pension gap and practically how to overcome main barriers to investing for women, autosaving, pensions, investing for the first time and looking at your investments and so much more!
