STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

i can talk about a lot of things nonstop, but I can't really think of them right now?  Maybe i'm just tired.  But definitely this one:

A woman's right to choose.

oh gosh, i could go on and on and on, also, supporting stem cell research.

Also,

the importance of saving/investing and making smart money choices.  Gosh, I try not to talk to ANYONE about this so they don't know what a freak I am!  I wish I could nag all my friends into making better choices.  They just look at me suspiciously because I own $300 shoes, a full wardrobe with nice things, and have a ton of savings.  They roll their eyes when I say I can't afford to go out to eat, because they know I can technically, but money that i need to put away is NOT to be spent and I will not go over my monthly budget.  If that means scrimping for a week, so be it, I will not dip into my savings- it is for emergencies, moving somewhere truly amazing, or starting my own business/following my dreams!!  I read books like rich dad, poor dad, Suze Orman, etc. and I'm mad that money sense is not taught in schools!  It sucks for the kids that are born learning how to be financially irresponsible from their parents- that is really the only way that it is taught these days.  That is why the rich just get richer, etc- because old habits die hard.  Yes, I do believe in the occasional rags to riches story, but it is very rare!!  Whoa, I need to stop talking.
