This is a 1998 article from FORTUNE, about the 34 women of Harvard Business School’s Class of 1973 (the first year that HBS had a “significant” portion of the class be female - 4.4%).
Even though this article is almost 10 years old (can you believe that the 90s were TEN years ago!? I feel old), [...]

Recently I’ve decided to tweak my retirement/emergency fund savings a little - I’ll still be saving roughly the same amount ($2,200-$2,500 a month), but I’m going to decrease my retirement savings a bit and increase my emergency fund savings by a couple hundred bucks.
The down payment fund is also on hold for now - I [...]

I have a confession to make.
Being “responsible” about saving and managing my money might be a symptom of something that’s far less positive - I’m so focused on achieving financial stability because I feel like in so many other parts of my life I am just floundering. Like a flounder. In the sea. (Think of [...]

Several months ago, I wrote a post on the expenses I’ll have to face once I graduate & move out on my own.
Well, now that I’ve been out for 3 months, let’s revisit that post and see how I did compared to how I thought I’d do.
1. Dry cleaning: I planned on spending $35-$45/month here… [...]

It’s hard to believe that in 2.5 months (or 11 weeks, to be more exact), 2007 will leave and 2008 will roll in. The latter part of 2007 will definitely be a time to remember for both the good times & the not-so-good times. I graduated college, moved into my own apartment, started a 90-hour+/week [...]

Meg tagged me on a 7 things about me meme… I can’t think of 7 things right now, but I’ll leave you guys with one: I was once a middle-school cheerleader. I can still do a (somewhat off-kilter) cartwheel and maybe even a toe touch if I stretch for 20 minutes beforehand.
I made the cheer [...]

Today I bought 2 books for about a dime over $25 (thereby getting me FREE shipping on Amazon). I’ve been spending a lot of money on books lately - a week ago I bought 3 books at Borders for $33 total (one of those Buy 3 Get 1 Free deals)… they’re interesting books and [...]

Yes, it is true. I went to Starbucks today and got my soy vanilla latte. And it was good. (But somehow, not quite as good as I remember it…).
I think I’ll try to keep this a once-a-month thing. I realize now that before I was just going to Starbucks for the sake of going there… [...]

Yes, that is correct. My credit card statement confirmed it - yours truly has not spent a single penny at Starbucks since the $3.40 soy vanilla latte over a month ago.
I think this might be the longest I’ve gone without Starbucks in… well, a long time.
Anyhow, my credit card statement for September hovered around $350, [...]
