Women and MoneySince most nannies are women, this week we will review our favorite books to help women manage their money.
Even in this century and new decade, many women let the men in their lives manage their money for them.
But, don't you hate women who just sit around waiting for Prince Charming to sweep them off their feet? What if you are single and you don't get married, wouldn't you still like to own a home? If you are married, shouldn't you be able to spend and invest your hard earned money smartly and as you like? The authors of A Girl Needs Cash shows women how to do that.

Very true. I just hit 50 yrs, unmarried and in a rented apt. I in the back of my mind unconscious I really did just assume I'd get married one day and his income would help buy a house. Oh well, instead of spending my life saving smartly for a home, I guess now's the time to start saving for retirement.
ReplyDeleteSad but true so many women do actually wait for the white knight to save them financially. Great series!
ReplyDeleteWhen doing a budget it is a work in process. You can't do it just one month. It takes several months of evaluating it. You can do the first budget in one weekend, but still save receipts and tweak it every month for a year.
