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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: My Appearance on PCNC Night Talk

As I mentioned in a previous post, tonight, I appeared on Night Talk, a talk show on the Pittsburgh Cable Network Channel. I was interviewed by Ellis Cannon.  We discussed the report the Pew Research Trust recently published stating that working moms are the primary breadwinners in 40% of American households.  We had a robust conversation. Ellis disclosed that he is the kind of husband who cleans the house and does laundry and I disclosed that I am failing at potty training.

All in all we had a grand time. I really hope to do it all again sometime soon. Here's hoping!
