Your goal should be to pay off your credit card bills in full at the end of each month and set aside money toward your emergency savings.

I don't care how far we've come with "women's liberation," with all these things. In a man's mind, he still needs to be the support of his family. He needs to hold up the world.

You'd better have faith that everything happens for the best. Nothing happens in your life that isn't something that you are meant to learn to get you where you need to go so you can become who you are meant to be. And that meant-to-be might be someone you don't even know exists at this moment in time.

A wise woman recognizes when her life is out of balance and summons the courage to act to correct it, she knows the meaning of true generosity, happiness is the reward for a life lived in harmony, with a courage and grace.

I have always advocated doing everything possible to pay off credit card balances; it's good financial management and the ticket to a strong FICO credit score.

The truth is women in the workplace don't have to fight nearly as hard for opportunities, or to dispel stereotypes, as they did before.

Late payments also hurt your FICO score. And never, ever take out a cash advance on your credit card.
