What Do You Want to Know About Financial Regulatory Reform?

That is the question being asked by the White House to moms these days.

In a seemingly sudden realization that women, particularly moms, have an interest in the financial future of this country, the White House put out a call for moms to express their concerns and questions about financial regulatory reform.

Despite the idea that men are often thought of as the "bread winners" in the family setting, moms are often in charge of their own finances, careers as well as household budget, their children's education, personal loan payments and home mortgages (among other things). Therefore, it seems fitting that the White House made this special effort to solicit their advice. The question was not only posted on it's blog this week, but also on The Motherhood where dozens of women left finance oriented questions.

I love to see national policy makers focusing their outreach to women - particularly moms, since 82.5 million women in the United States are mothers. It is nice to see that women are also taking a stake in their financial future by asking the questions that need to be asked before another economic crisis hits.

Make sure to see what moms asked over at The Motherhood and then follow up on the answers over on the White House Blog later this week.
