Q: Words of Wisdom for Others:

Girls, be smart with your money. Have you spent your future on Friday night cocktails, endless manicures, and closets of trendy clothes . . . and wondering why as you near age 40 you still have an apartment and no 401K, but a huge credit card debt? There is no feeling in the world like a six-figure nest egg you built yourself (and it'll keep on growing). Pay yourself first - sign up for the 401K at work. Pack lunches for a year and you're halfway to a deposit on your first house or condo. Treat that little starter house right, invest in improvements, and enjoy the fact you're on the path to a Someday Dream Home that's every inch glam, every inch yours.
