Our fascination with
romance, one of the most marvelous aspects of our lives, sends even the most
sensible person into a state of blind denial. Often, women are swept away
romantically and fail to take a hard look at financial compatibility before
marrying or moving in together. In the book, The Seven Pearls of Financial
Wisdom: A Woman’s Guide to Enjoying Wealth and Power which I co-wrote with
award winning wealth manager Carol Pepper...

In
April there were 57 billionaire residents in Manhattan with a combined fortune
of $228 billion, according to Forbes. Mayor Bloomberg himself was worth
approximately $22 billion in a recent tally. New York City is second only to Moscow in its number of billionaires, and many of ours are homegrown, including Ralph Lauren.Considering
The New York Job Source puts the median salary for New York area workers at
$50,820 it's unlikely...

I once drove a NY pizza more than 500 miles back to
Richmond, Va., my home at the time. Gloria Pizza was only a few blocks
from the apartment on 41st Avenue in Flushing where I grew up. I
missed it so much that after spending a few days visiting my mom in
1989, I just had to take some back with me. You won’t find Gloria Pizza there
anymore, but in my 40+ years of fine dining it still stands out as the best,
even better than the pizza...

In response to
one of the fastest growing developmental disabilities and “public health

continues to recognize April as National Autism Awareness Month.

Investments come in
many shapes and sizes.
If you’re a
high-net-worth individual, you may invest in vacation homes and properties,
art, private jets and the like. A more middle-class individual may stick to stocks
and bonds, with a focus on their retirement plans.
Many people explore
all different avenues of investments to, in essence, better their lives and the
lives of their families. But does anyone ever truly take the time to...

It’s happened to all of us. We get that little red slip in the mail—the dreaded summons—calling us to fulfill our civic duty by reporting to serve on jury duty. After the initial huffing and puffing, trying to think of creative reasons to get out of said service, you finally get picked for a jury. If you happen to live in New York City, chances are you’ll be serving somewhere downtown on Centre Street.If you’re familiar with the court...

It’s not
often 16 speakers inspire a live audience of 200 for 9 hours to re-imagine
banking, but that’s exactly what happened at the Computer History Museum atTEDxNewWallStreet on March 11th.
It was an unusual experience to talk about a world I have covered in NYC miles
away in Silicon Valley but the location afforded a certain freedom too.

unique event where I served as the onstage host and guide for the day

New York City is
real estate mad. It has been in this state for many years and remains one of
the only markets seemingly untouched by the recent real estate crisis (still
raging all over the country). With co-ops and condos regularly selling for
multi-millions of dollars all over the ever-gentrifying city, it is my guess
that very few people give much thought to squatting. And this is truer still
for the throngs of new New
York...
