(continued because the last post was too long, had to split it in 2)

Top financial changes:
- more savings in my savings accounts
- looking into a Roth IRA; my full-time job only offers 403b
- looking into life insurance
- creating (or at least starting) a will
- contributing more money to my mutual funds

Luckily I'm pretty decent with money and not spending too frivolously (as a matter-of-fact, I feel guilty treating myself), so hopefully I can reach these goals by the end of the year.

Glad to have found such a resource. I recently deferred part of my school loans for 8 months. I'm gonna use what is deferred and apply it toward my credit card bills and savings. My uncle and I were just talking yesterday and he's gonna help me with this, and he recommended ING as well. I also have a part-time job in addition to my full-time job and hope to put aside a little something from that. My main financial concerns: - credit cards (only 2 but with big balances) - school loans (which will probably take another 30 years to pay off) - having enough savings for a rainy day - my mutual funds and their growth during these hard economic times (talked with my advisor yesterday) Just discovered your blog about a month ago.

I love your blog. It is so critical for women to be more comfortable discussing and controlling their finances. In fact, I just started a similar journey myself and started a blog too. I'll continue to look to you for inspiration on how to do it right!!! Congrats to you! I love your blog. It is so critical for women to be more comfortable discussing and controlling their finances.
