Great post! It is important for my son to know what is going on. Not in detail but to pick up great habits and be prepared for the future.
Great post lady! I think that it is very necessary to plan what you can. But, everything cannot be planned to the T. Being a single mom, student, full time employee is difficult, but the reward at the end is what I am looking at. So, I think that being a full time mom, student, and etc means that not only you should plan, you should also plan to be flexible. It is the only way because things change rapidly when children are involved.
How exciting!! I will be following this tweetup.
Well, I think that today's society encourages women to be that way. It is like, if have on a lot of makeup, shapely and able to hold an OK conversation, you are in like Flynn. Having smarts are not really being supported I feel that some women are still looking for a "savior" and are not trying to have their own plan before entering the relationship. Have your own and then when it is time to meet someone, it will be a great partnership instead it being a sole proprietorship (sp).
I believe it depends on the guy you are with. I am not married, but I have experienced dating guys who tell me that they want someone to be at home more than he is. Or, someone who "needs" them more. I think once you are married, and your spouse desires a "softer" approach, it is ok to leave the superwoman uniform in the phone booth. Allow him to be Clark Kent. It will be better for the relationship in the long run I believe. But, it is difficult the older women get I believe without being married. You get used to handling your own. It is not personal, it is just that you learn how to adapt to handling everything. When that happens, and you do meet someone, he either embraces it or gets offended. Being a superwoman can sometimes hurt you or help you. Trust me, I have experienced both.
I understand. Sometimes you have to move towards a new area where you are needed the most. Can't wait to see the changes !
I think that when the opportunity presents itself, you will make the right decision.
This is a great article. I laughed because I always told friends that I update my resume after starting a new job. I have been part of "streamlining" 2 times and 2 times was enough for me. Now, far as the budgeting, I am just getting there. Better late than never.
It is a good thing to offer it in schools, because some parents still do not have great financial habits themselves. So, there should be something offered maybe after school or during the summer. When teens start working after school/summer jobs, they should be able to get some kind of training in saving and how to better manage their money. I know I did not get the great lesson at home because my mother did not have any credit, nor a bank account. It takes a village to raise a child.
I changed auto insurance also. It was a great deal for me because the savings I receive is placed on my credit card debt. I am on the road to recovery !
