A RECENT SURVEY BY CITIBANK FOUND THAT--WHILE AMERICAN-WOMEN FIND THE ECONOMIC-OUTLOOK TO BE DAUNTING--61-PERCENT REMAIN OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THEIR OWN PERSONAL ECONOMIC-SITUATION. BY MAKING CHANGES IN SPENDING- AND SAVINGS-HABITS, WOMEN ARE STAYING ON TRACK TO ACHIEVE THEIR LIFE'S GOALS. AND, ACCORDING TO CITIBANK'S "WOMEN AND COMPANY", YOU CAN, TOO. FIRST, START TRACKING HOW MUCH IS COMING IN--AND WHAT YOU'RE SPENDING IT ON. WHEN YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES, YOU CAN SET PRIORITIES AS TO WHAT YOU WANT TO SPLURGE ON--AND WHAT YOU CAN CUT. ALSO, COMMIT TO THE FUTURE BY AUTOMATICALLY PUTTING A SET-AMOUNT OUT OF YOUR PAYCHECK INTO A SAVINGS-ACCOUNT. IN ADDITION, YOU CAN SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A NEW CAR BY BUYING ONE THAT'S JUST A YEAR OR TWO OLD--YET STILL HAS A WARRANTY. FINALLY, STAY ON AN INVESTMENT-DIET BY RE-BALANCING YOUR 401-K, I-R-A, AND ANY OTHER INVESTMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS--TO KEEP IN SYNC WITH YOUR GOALS, RISK-TOLERANCE, AND TIMELINE.
