First paragraph and I'm already embarrassed to be female. I'll take the gender-neutral finance books, thanks.

Reading between the lines, there seems to be an indication that women tend to have less definite long term horizons. I'm wondering if it's due to what one of my professors delicately called "the biological issue." If women sort of leave things blank in case they have a baby or get married.
I guess I was raised that you can't assume either or that you even assume that you would stay married for whatever reason.

Okay, I'm a guy so maybe I'm missing the point here, but those five financial mistakes sound pretty universal to me - not just for women.
But maybe putting it into different terms will connect with the audience better, am I right?

When I moved to the city, a friend bought me City Chic: The Urban Girls Guide to Living Large on Less. I think the best chapter was on wining and dining. It listed substitutes for various herbs and spices (like oregano can usually be used instead of basil, no need to buy one if you already have the other).
Also high heels can be a woman's worst friend in the city...because the couple blocks to/from the subway can be super painful. So there's a tendency to take a cab thinking "it's only x dollars, this one time." 52 weeks later, you've spent 52x on a cab...

What she said was soo true. If women make one change regarding their finances whether its to save money or not shop to get their emotional needs met or budgeting it can impact them and their finances for a lifetime.
