Because some women have no concept of delayed gratification, mostly due to being ignorant to the power of compound interest. Also many women want instant gratification, which is why you see many living paycheck to paycheck. Or even worse, they are deep credit card debt buying useless shit like daily starbucks, cosmetics, handbags, shoes, clothing, restaurant bills, iphones, ect.

I would recommend you diversify. My 401k is split 40% VHCAX, 25% FXAIX, 25% VSIIX and 10% VGSNX. From my research however, it seems that small cap value outperforms the overall market from a long-term investment perspective.

My life would be meaningless if I didn't work, have friends and hobbies.

Should I go for a CFA and try to become some sort of financial analyst, or go for an FSA and try to become an actuary? I'm really good at math and statistics and generally come off as friendly, but sometimes a little nervous. Also, I'm currently an econ/CS double major. I think the probability concepts on the first actuarial exam look pretty interesting, but I'm slightly worried that actuarial work would not have enough human interaction. If I were to be a financial analyst, I'd want to work somewhat normal hours (50 or so is fine, but I'd rather not go 80+ like some people in IB), and also have a certain amount of job security. (What kind of firms offer this, if any?)
