the latest issue of Marie Claire (primarily a vapid chick-mag like Glamour, but often contains some blood-curdling third-world-feminist piece on baby rape in South Africa, girl kidnapping epidemic in Kenya, or wife-beating in Saudi Arabia, complete with gruesome pictures) has a "finance" article where it presents five or six 30-something women and their salaries, and says guess which is in the best financial shape. the point of the article's "finance guru" is that the ones with high salaries (like the $150K model) outspend their incomes and are effectively poor, while the $35K pennypinching graphic designer is doing all right. the main piece of advice of this "guru" seems to be to buy real estate, LOL. i don't know about the others, but my guess is the model will just marry up.
