Many of those jobs have left.Frugal Galnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-20653848632357642822007-08-10T18:38:00.000-04:002007-08-10T18:38:00.000-04:00I was directed to your personal finance blog in De...I was directed to your personal finance blog in December, by a staffer at Real Simple when she called me to arrange an interview about achieving my financial goals. She told me how great your blog was, and I have to agree! Many of the tips you've provided are ones that I use already.<BR/><BR/>Just wanted to make sure you get your kudos, too. ;)<BR/>LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1171106980670563622007-08-06T12:16:00.000-04:002007-08-06T12:16:00.000-04:00I couldn't help but do a little song and dance in ...I couldn't help but do a little song and dance in my head when I read this article... Finally, FINALLY women are not only catching up, but we're surpassing men in earning capabilities... We can do it just as well, thank you. We've come a long way, baby!<BR/><BR/>Also, thank you to all the women (and men) who paved this path and made it easier for me to get where I am going! <BR/><BR/>Woooohooooooo!MissGoldBughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784602769316480627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-41140382360264548692007-08-03T18:47:00.000-04:002007-08-03T18:47:00.000-04:00More and more women are college educated and delay...More and more women are college educated and delaying parenthood until their 30s (sometimes 40s), so I bet that trend will soon develop into older age groups as well. It's definitely a good thing, but I wonder how this will affect the "traditional" family structure.Single Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304629601616898196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-10264499603686126812007-08-03T16:39:00.000-04:002007-08-03T16:39:00.000-04:00I'm the opposite of English Major.

I talk about personal finance with my male friends, versus my female ones (who I barely even touch on financial matters with).<BR/><BR/>I am happy to hear that it's becoming a trend that young women are making more. I also do agree with EM that it may be the anxiety of raised expectations that is driving all of this: women can finally (literally) do it all and men aren't seen as the only ones who can bring home the bacon (as in my case...)FB @ FabulouslyBroke.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12966672580040786485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-26829330972162021652007-08-03T10:55:00.000-04:002007-08-03T10:55:00.000-04:00Thanks for the shout-out!It's interesting--I notic...Thanks for the shout-out!<BR/><BR/>It's interesting--I notice the trend you mention, too: with a few exceptions, I'm more likely to sit around and talk Roth IRAs and budgets with my female friends than my male friends. There isn't much of a difference in ambition, though, and I have to wonder whether the trend in women can be chalked up to the anxiety of raised expectations.English Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276582833751319518noreply@blogger.com
