Call me old-fashioned; I'm a progressive feminist but I hate this wealthy, materialistic mindset. Yes, I appreciate these ideas to think upon and, dare I say, "invest in," but it's a shame, too. What would women do with this money? What do men do with money? For the most part it goes into fashionable things to show off their wealth. I work for a multi-million dollar non-profit agency that works towards ending hunger and poverty (Heifer International). It angers me that people want to be wealthy and rich. Of course I can understand wanting to be well-off, certainly! But wealthy? But let me say that I do appreciate these ideas presented here, that women primarily worry about taking care of others while men worry about profit. That is true and duly noted. I just... needed to rant.

I hate to admit it, but a lot of this applies to me. When I was laid off in April, I was more worried about how the owner of the company was going to get by than I was about how I was going to get by.

Wealth is more about thinking big,or small. Sometimes you you have to take responsibility for your self and your actions, whatever mountains you are moving take GOD with you and you'll see just how much millionare potential you really have.
JEHOVAH JIREH!!!! GOD WILL PROVIDE , FOR EVER, he's the cause of all my wildest dreams to materialize all out of thin air, I was young , and I was a caretaker of a child with special needs and overwhelmed with bills, and stack of other things I was going throught, you article really inspired me to mentor to young women who are now facing what I had to go through. A long and lonely road but I made it to the top, and so can they.
I am a female music engineer and it is basically a male territory but I've overcome that, and I have made a name for myself and soon to dominate photography, and image consultant, because women really get a bad wrap in the music industry, we are not all video girls, and we do have bigger brains than men, we just have to use them.

Highlights the importance of teaching our children, and particularly our daughters, about money, finances, investing v. saving, etc. Many of the men v. women statements in the article hold true for my husband and me, but this can change for younger women.

Great article! =)

Good points! And good suggestions of changes to make. With regard to choosing an investment advisor--this is a toughie. Most investment advisors are paid on commission and the amount of money they earn is based on the particular instrument they convince you to put your money in. So this is a big BUYER BEWARE. Most community colleges offer one or two day seminars which will introduce you to the types of investments that are open to you. It's very good to be a little educated before speaking to any investment advisor. And this is one decision that you want to mull over and comparison shop. Meet with more than one advisor, from different companies, and tell them what the others recommended. You will then learn if there is something about a particular recommendation that makes it undesirable for you. I was pitched investing in annuities. I did my homework and not only are annuities inappropriate for someone who still has years left in the work force, but the commission on selling annuities is about the highest that one can make. Also, what I was not told by the "pitcher" is that if I pulled out of the annuity in the first two years, there was a very expensive penalty. I'd advise people to take a class and find someone who has no vested interest in where you invest plus financial expertise to bounce ideas off of. There is little recourse for a bad investment. Best to all.

Thank you for the great article! Lots of good information!

Wow do I love this article...I strongly believe in the law of attraction and it has worked for me this past year...I am constantly thinking that I am wealthy and have plenty of money and that I can take care of all my bills and have lots more...and it is all happening!!
