One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Power to the Mothers!

One of the cool things about having this blog is that I learn about so many interesting things.  And when I learn new things, I like to share them with my blog readers so that they too can be edified! :-)

I recently discovered an organization called, "M.O.T.H.E.R.S." (Mothers Ought to Have Equal Rights).  It is is a netroots community of mothers and other family caregivers who look after children or other dependent family members. It promotes social change to enhance the economic security of those who do carework, both exclusively or in conjunction with paid employment.

I'm not endorsing the organization and I am not affiliated with them.  (I'm a lawyer so you know I have to have a disclaimer.  I can't just say, hey this site is cool check it out like NORMAL people! :-)) Seriously, I like the principle of the organization.  Anybody who is working to support moms, help them become financially secure, and obtain equal rights is alright with me!

I'm not an attorney but after scanning the link you provided, I'd say it looks like a good thing.
I think promoting security is a good goal.
