women and financial success

Hi there,

Ok. I started late in life. I didn't start thinking about how to make a living and support myself in my old age until I was well into my 30s. Until then I just went where the next career opportunity lay thinking that the money would take care of itself. The high stats on the impoverishment of older women made me sit up and take notice, and consider how I was going to make sure I was financially secure. It has been a challenge as a single woman - lots of work means less time to date! What has been your experiences with juggling career focuses with family life?
