Top Money Mistakes Women Make
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?
Ladies, if we don’t like getting patronized and treated like little girls, we need to act like the adults we are when it comes to finances. We can weigh in outside influences, emotional baggage and fears behind our money mistakes, but it’s ultimately our responsibility to actively clean up our messes and create our successes in life and in money.

| Great article! It's often not taking action when it comes to our money that leads us to feel trapped. We don't set aside money or we have the false sense of security that someone else will provide for us in the long run. | |

| You are on the money! The more we save at an earlier age the easier life will be. Unfortunately, most of us don't save as much as we should when were young and then after kids it's nearly impossible. Start saving girls! | |

| It's hard to save money these days, with loans, credit card debts and all. Yet it's so important to save at least a little bit every month (a little goes a long way, as the trite saying goes.) I had to buy a new car when my good-condition car suddenly broke down recently. You just never know what's going to happen. | |
