| Welcome New York Times Readers! |
 The New York Times linked to me in the article: What Do Women Want? Just Ask (I am on the 4th page - but read the whole article - Mickey Meece did a great job!) If you found my blog by visiting the article here are some posts that you might find interesting.
- Why would I open my wallet to the world?
- A little history lesson about me and money - Part 1
- A little history lesson about me and money - Part 2
- How could I afford my house? By renting out my basement!
I track my Net Worth up on the right hand sidebar under the heading "Net Worth". You can click on the details link to see the monthly breakdown (link is above the ING Direct $25 Opening Bonus Page)
Since starting this blog I have watched my Net Worth grow and have learned a lot from my fellow personal finance bloggers. You can find links to some of my favorites on my sidebar under the heading "Interesting Blogs". The article also mentions one of my favorite fellow bloggers - Madame X at My Open Wallet.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and the comments other visitors have provided. I welcome any comment or questions - so please feel free to join in. If you would like to follow my Net Worth journey subscribe to my feed or bookmark this page - I update fairly frequently. - Enjoy and Thank you for visiting!

Portion of article which mentions my blog:
These days, some women are literally opening their checkbooks to the world on blogs like MyOpenWallet and BostonGal’sOpenWallet, which is run by a woman who identifies herself online only as Jane Dough, to protect her privacy (www.bostongalsopenwallet.blogspot.com). The blog tracks her personal assets monthly (valued at $412,435.59 in October) and calls itself “the ongoing chronicle of a single 30-something Bostonian who is seeking enlightenment and control of her net worth.”
In a telephone interview, she explained that she started blogging a year ago, after she bought a house and paid off her student loans and credit cards. “I started to feel adrift,” she said. “What do I do next? How do I keep motivated?” The blog was her answer.
In her first post, she said: “Speaking publicly about your personal finances has always been a no-no in my family. The result of this is that I often felt unprepared and uneducated about financial matters. I am now in my mid-30’s, single, with a fairly well established professional career. Because I live alone, I make all the financial decisions in my life — good or bad.
“If your parents and peers can’t or won’t show you the way, hopefully sites like this on the Web will.” Labels: Media Mention |

Great NYT article and interesting blog. Many have studied the origins of our feelings about money.
we know it has much to do with how our parents spoke/felt or didn't speak or feel about money.Where I work (Abacus Wealth Partners/Kubera Portfolios), we try to help our clients realize their most important, personal goals, to help them make a difference in the lives they touch.
