Just wanted to also share the results of the folliowing studies to remind you that there is a psychological aspect to investing and as a female you are going against the grain but remember that women investors also outperform men so trust your gut and hang in there!!

Its an awesome book that touches on love, finances, psychology (realllly cool).

She's getting her Doctorate in Psychology at one of the best programs in the country. 

There is a very difficult psychological tendency to begin to be defined by the number.

Which is why there is so much psychological damage done when people lose their jobs.

I think there may be some real psychology to this; I defer to Patrick Jackson & Blair H. as I think they have good experience and advice.Most of our mailings are higher volume and utilize standard postage which saves a huge 10 cents per piece.

lolI was raised catholic, went through catholic school and all then then started studying like an Engineer ALL the information I could find regarding religions, archaeology, human psychology, hearing input from all sides, etc etc..My current engineering conclusion, after about 10 years of study, is that there may Indeed be a 'something' that is greater than ourselves..BUT, no man made book on earth is a true description of that 'something'.That's the nitty gritty and I will continue searching for the absolute truth and will post here FIRST if I find it.
