Single Women it's time to Manage Your Money!

“No one can have your back to the extent that you can!” - Natascha 'CareerCoach' Saunders

FINANCES: As a single, unmarried female managing my own finances through starting a business, switching jobs, and declining contracts so I can focus on being a full-time student things get really tight. Sometimes I decline going out not because I don’t want to go but because whenever I do I always spend $$ which reduces my budget. It could be a $25 meal or a $4 train ride that I could have saved to get to my unpaid internship.

When bills, insurance, medical, student loans etc. come it’s ONLY ME that has to write the check based on my income, just like some of you! So I wanted to share a reminder so I can be of support to the other single, young women coming up after me, to which I’ve received many private messages. WE are moving up the corporate or academic ladder. WE are finishing up our degrees or starting our businesses. WE are doing our own hair, our own nails, and recycling the same dress 5 times trying to make it look different…..but it’s only temporary!!!! I promise!!!

REMEMBER: WE have to prioritize purchases, prioritize our giving, save money, and say NO. I promise this will not be forever!

Important Changes on FAFSA (Instead of Mother/Father it will say Parent 1/Parent 2)

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (#FAFSA) beginning 2014-2015 will provide a new option for dependent applicants to describe their parents’ marital status as “unmarried and both parents living together.”  Additionally, where appropriate, the new FAFSA will use terms like “Parent 1” and “Parent 2” instead of gender-specific terms such as “mother” and “father.”  Read more here.  

#ADVICE from a #Tuskegee Alum #HBCU



Today I had the chance to sit down and talk with Deputy Director Ronald E. Blakely from @usedgov, #Tuskegee University alum, #Army #Veteran and currently with the Department of Education working on #HBCU initiatives.

Here are my takeaway’s:

  1. ‘Some people Win but Loose’
  2. ‘You’ve got to know when to go around the problem’
  3. ‘Take a little bit from the people you admire but be YOU’, and
  4. ‘It’s okay to be different’
