			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve decided, after one too many bank overdraft fees, that I&#8217;m going to get a grip. On my finances.</p>
<p>There are lots of things to think about when you&#8217;re thinking about money. It could be related to your job, your spending, your savings, your family, your health, or any other number of factors, but the bottom line is that you have to be educated about money and finance in order to improve your emotional connection toward your financial health.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to kickstart this topic with some really great sites and books that I&#8217;ve found. Yes, the majority of these are geared toward women (sorry, guys) but that doesn&#8217;t mean that the principles don&#8217;t apply for both sexes! Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll be back, reporting on ways to improve your financial health, but for now, go read these, my lovelies!</p>
