Check this out: Well-Heeled got its first media mention ever (that I know of)! And from the Wall Street Journal, no less!
Apparently this blog falls under the “juicy diaries” category.
Juicy. Personal finance. I never thought those three words would end up in the same sentence!
Congrats to Krystal, Mollie, Beachgirl, and Nicole, and Eric - [...]

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), [...]

The blogosphere is a buzz with this (relatively) new New York Times article on men, women, expectations, dating, and money. Or, most specifically, the expectations that higher-paid women have about dating men who earn less than they do.
I don’t know if I have anything good to add on to the discussion (see here & here).
All [...]

Not well enough, is what I concluded after I read this article from the NY Magazine.
When I ordered food last night, I gave the delivery man $15 for a $13 tab. But it probably wouldn’t have hurt me to give him a $3 tip instead.

This article reminded me of [...]

Check out this LA Times profile (free registration required, check bugmenot.com if you don’t want to register) on a 40something executive.
The one phrase that jumped out at me was: [she] never…expected she would one day need to manage her own finances.
Readers, what were your money expectations (from your parents & surroundings) growing up? Did you [...]

As 2007 rolls around, it’s another year gone, and we are all another year closer to old age and death, I mean, er, hard-won wisdom and a prosperous retirement. Something to think about: will you have to pay for your parents’ retirement? And maybe you need another glass of bubbly before you can process that [...]

If you have a minute, take a look at this New York Times article that summarizes the findings of the Census Bureau’s 2007 Statistical Abstract of the United States. What I found the most interesting is the shift in what college freshmen described as their primary personal objectives. In 1970, 79 percent said their goal [...]

For all this time I thought I had $20,000 in student loans. According to my financial aid summary that I just received, however, I owe $19,000. It’s like getting a gift I haven’t been expecting. I guess my loan obligation puts me directly in line with the average college graduate. The American Council on [...]

USA Today’s Young and In Debt serie presents Tolu Adeleye, a MIT Sloan graduate who charged $35,000 in credit card debt due to travels during business school (he also has $25,000 in business school loans). Out of all the stories, his is probably the one I can most relate to. I LOVE to travel, and [...]
