Money Mistake # 3: The need to know all the right answers.
“Women like to know they have the right answers before they proceed in just about any situation,” says Chatzky. “In most situations that works really well for us, but in the world of investing, it’s pretty impossible to know you have the right answer.” If you really want to be wealthy, put your money to work for you as much as you’re working for yourself—that’s what investing is all about. Unfortunately, women become so overwhelmed with the idea of being the best investor, we don’t even get in the game. You have to accept that you are not going to win every time in investing and focus on being a consistent investor, insists Chatzky. Study the market trends just like you do fashion trends and stay in the game. If you don’t, you’ll guarantee not winning at all.

Money Mistake #4: Holding on to the idea of fairy tale endings.
Women are given mixed messages about money, Dr. Frankel explains. We are told to save and plan for the future, but always in conjunction with someone else that will ultimately “take care of you.” As our friends at Wife.org would say, “A man is not a financial plan.” Don’t wait for Prince Charming to carry you over the threshold. The desire of financial success must be accompanied by hard work or else you’ll be stuck waiting. And who likes to wait, especially when it comes to money?
