You know you're a Female Investor when...

[Micki M.]

I loved the "you know you're an investor when" post from @Brandon Turner and I think it's time to revive it for the women of BP.  A recent podcast talked about how hard it was for them to get female interviewees - which I find so hard to believe given the number of BP women out there doing great things - except that we tend to under-promote and under-value our accomplishments.  So here's my encouragement to SPEAK UP BP WOMEN you are awesome!

You know you're a female investor when...

You're on the job site of your $100k+ rehab and the first question most workers ask you is "are you married?"

The appliance guy can't stop saying "sweetie" and "hon" to you when scheduling the delivery time.

My husband was deployed.  He and a bunch of guys were sitting around in a tent in the desert, waiting for the coaster bus to take them to work.  One guy says, "Man, my wife is going to break the bank!  She just spend $1000 on some flashy jewelry."  The next guy says, "That's nothing...my wife just bought a new couch, and she dropped $1500.  Ouch!"  My husband grins.  They say, "Well...? What's your story?"  

"Well," he says,"I've got you all beat.  My wife just spent $200,000 on three rental houses!"  They gasp.  "At least I will be getting my money back!"  

Yeah, he supports me with my...discount purchases.  :D
