Since its women’s money week, what I’ve been reading mostly consists of posts in that vein. You can check out all the amazing posts over at Women’s Money Week, but I thought I’d highlight a few that have really caught my attention.

I learned about Women’s Money Week via Jackie at Money Crush, so I only think it’s appropriate to start off with her, and her post on why savings accounts aren’t just for rainy days.

Since Thursday was also International Women’s Day. Marie at Family Money Values took the opportunity to look at budgeting on the national and international levels and how we can use budgeting for gender equality.

Also on the budgeting front, I loved this post from Debt Free by Thirty about how a budget can mean more financial freedom, not less.

American Debt Project wants everyone to dominate money in their thirties.

These final links aren’t official entries in the Women’s Money Week series, but they fit with the theme, and I definitely want to share them with you.

Over at The Money Principle, Maria writes about five differences between women and men, and our relationships with money.

I’ve got two entries from Suba at Wealth Informatics. First she took a look back at a debate hosted by Slate earlier this year on whether or not men are finished. And despite the fact that Hanna Rosin is apparently an excellent speaker, it doesn’t appear that men actually are irrelevant, especially when we consider Suba’s next question: Why haven’t women taken the state yet? about women in leadership roles.
