On-screen text

I am 44, divorced, I do not have a pension and I don't own my home. If I am honest, I have no real financial security. And the more I have started to say that out loud, the more I have realised I am not the only woman my age in this situation. I have a feeling an entire generation of women is about to realise we've all been having the same conversation in private.
