8. Making the same choices?

Nope!

I'm not trying to argue with you here! We are all HOF'ers -

I seriously thought this was a discussion about 'smart finances' for women - which I'm allllllllllll about.

I also was a 25 year old helping my mom navigate through literally millions of dollars when my dad had a massive stroke (he lived another very very GOOD 12/13 years). I saw how a woman could be a VP of a Hotel Management Company, have all of the knowledge in the world, be politically active, socially engaged . . .

yet she was totally out of touch with my parents wealth and resources.

The way you posed the question? I thought we were judging women for not having their hands around that.

^I think it's quite common. And it can really really hurts us. So I'm always going to push women - single or married or partnered - be all over your financial shit. Protect yourselves. ^
