My financial goal is stability. I would also like to travel every fall and spring with my family.Seeing the world. So I have investments and MMA, Saving, and Stocks.
Sometimes as women we really don't think about our own financial goals. we are trying to think about our Children or family in general, which is good, but you need to have your own dreams as well. This way you know what you are working towards.

I enjoyed your article. It reminds me of Suze Orman's book Women and Money. Her book has helped me understand the importance of making sure I have all of my financial matters in order. It takes time, practice, and commitment. I am saving money from my business as an author/writer, artist, yoga teacher, and Reiki practitioner to increase my skills and self-published books in 2009. Right now I am saving a portion of my business income for professional development. I am really happy that I was able to save $300 for my Reiki level 2 certification. I am also saving for golf lessons, yoga for golfers teaching certification classes, and the self-publishing novel package fee for 2009. I also use the support of a financial advisor who I have been working with since 2002. My personal savings goal is to build my emergency fund up to 12 months of savings. Right now I am at 3 months and some change. I have to say that saving, spending, and reducing debt takes time, but it is worth it. It makes you really look at how you live.
