One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Happy International Women's Day: Let's Celebrate Women!

Even though I've had some posts lately criticizing high profile women like Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg, I remain a huge fan of women and believe that International Women's Day is a great time to acknowledge our accomplishments.
 

International Women's Day is a Time to Celebrate!

 
Do we have a lot of progress to make in workplace equality, pay equity and acknowledgement of the contributions of mothers?  Absolutely. However, have we come a long way? You betcha baby!

Here's a link to a prior post that discusses this remarkable day, and the many challenges that women face, in more detail, Chaton's World: A Mom's Quest for Balance in Stilettos: International Women's Day: Let's Celebrate Women!  (It would be really great if this time next year, America makes this a national holiday...)

ENJOY!

I think about this all time. I have concluded that for the most part the car doesn't matter. However, once you have a nice ride it's hard to downgrade. So, if you are a lawyer with a conservative budget ride keep it that way. Once you get a luxury car it's awkward to go backwards.
