3. Self-confidence.
Single gals of the world should always follow this simple but effective mantra: Always look like you know what you’re doing and that you’re having fun doing it!

4. A passport.
After a particularly painful breakup, I decided to take my dream Mediterranean vacation. Somewhere between hiking a 12-mile gorge with a cute air force officer, exploring ancient ruins and sunbathing topless, I realized: My ex would have hated this trip. Which made me appreciate my experiences all the more. And whenever I look at my passport, I smile at the fond memories of my adventure and wonder where I’ll travel to next.

5. The perfect workout.
Working out is no longer about logging that hour of cardio on the treadmill. It’s about finding what works best for you. So get out of that gym and have some fun! Whether it’s hiking, biking, Pilates, yoga or some combination thereof, hop to it!

6. A financial planner.
Most of our mothers went from their father’s house to the sorority house to their husband’s house. Not today’s single gal. Most of us make enough money to live alone, give to charity and still go on that amazing weekend getaway with the girls. But after awhile, it’s time to get smart. Start planning for the future. And that’s where a financial advisor comes in.
