Something to think about...
Adapted from Suze Orman's book, Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control your Destiny via O, The Oprah Magazine.
Besides money, a wealthy woman has these qualities that serve as guideposts to make sure she's always walking toward wealth rather than away from it.
*Harmony & Balance: Harmony is the agreement between what you think, say, and do. Balance is the state of stability in which you're able to make sound judgments that will enhance your emotional and financial security. Aligning your thoughts, words, and actions will put you on a path to balance - and emotional and financial well-being.
*Wisdom & Courage: The ability to make (not just think about) sensible decisions that respect your needs takes wisdom, the voice of experience that's inside each woman. Courage, the catalyst that creates harmony by uniting our thoughts with our actions, is what lets us assert our opinions confidently. Telling a friend or family member that you love them, but can't ruin your financial life to save theirs requires wisdom and courage.
*Generosity & Happiness: True generosity must benefit both parties. No woman can control her destiny if she doesn't give to herself as much as she gives of herself.
*Cleanliness & Beauty: Removing clutter and chaos from our lives brings clarity, which makes it easier to achieve what we want. From emptying closets of unused stuff to streamlining your wallet, cleanliness is a sign that you're in control. And by bringing the first seven qualities into your life, you feel beautiful.
When you commit to finding harmony and balance, you have the courage to make wise decisions that are as generous to you as they are to others. This leads to deep, unwavering happiness and brings beauty to your life.

I would have to say the area I need most work on is saying "NO" to people when they ask for my help financially. I guess I have a hard time justifying that money is more important than the people I love AND the truth is that I get a lot of joy out of helping others that I care about.
