Be the Smart Girl: Money and Your Value

The problem with being told to be a good girl when you're young is that you think you're supposed to please people and keep the peace in your family and among your friends. Along with your peacekeeping duties, you assume it's impolite to talk about money when you're applying for your first part-time or summer job. No one teaches you that being good means being a decent human being who can properly look after herself. Being able to look after yourself includes having every right to talk about money! And money is tied to your sense of value, that is, how you value yourself.
