Thanks to Madame X at My Open Wallet and Boston Gal she has had some guidance and inspiration. While reading about others finances is interesting and can be helpful, Emily brings up that it can also be discouraging.

The great thing about the “virtual” personal finance community is that you’re never alone in weighing your financial options.

You’ll still have to make the final decision yourself but if you ask questions and take advantage of the knowledge that personal finance blogs share it can at least be a well informed decision.

Hi Emily,

Thank you for mentioning me as well

I agree with Madame X – you should feel really good about your accomplishments to date. But I hear you about the “The hardest part of being single is making decisions alone” – I feel the same way most of the time. I hope you win that financial consultation! Good Luck

Hi Emily,
Thanks for mentioning me– I’m glad you find my blog helpful! You shouldn’t worry about “not doing as well.” I don’t know what you do for a living, but your 30s can be a time of career opportunity. I’m several years older than you and make more money now, but at 33, I was making a similar amount, and probably had a similar net worth, but a lot can change in a few years once you’re focused on managing your money. It sounds like you have a great foundation– good luck!
