It’s Saturday night with the single girl! Welcome. I, too, am having another night in. No yummy snacks this time and nothing I’m too jazzed to see on television. I’m a bit television-ed out. Blasphemous I know. I really want to go outdoors but I don’t know what exactly to do. So, my two readers, …
So while digging around to get my tax information together for this year, I stumbled upon a payroll feature that shows all our payroll data. Since I started tracking my income, expenses, and savings this year, I can’t help but notice trends. Some of the numbers were surprising, so I spent a little more time …
Dear Future Me, The pressure of not posting anything in January is keeping me up at night. So I decided to at least crank out five sentences while I determine what the heck I want to do with this blog and my life in general. Work. Work this week was pretty chill. It ended Friday …
While I boldly published my intent to Sabbatical in 2020, I’ve had many more iterations of life-outside-of-the-workforce since then. Lately I’ve been giving the Spanish teaching program more thought.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I ain’t got no friends, so I thought I might as well post this now. In case you’re just joining us, here’s a little bit about me. I am a single 30-something, openly Christian, hesitantly immigrant-y, human woman. I love watching TV while eating takeout, and I want to retire early. …
Just a smattering of my thoughts during my holiday hiatus! Wed, Nov 14 – It’s been a pretty low key week. Work is still busy, but manageable. Calls are steady but I’m not as affected, I suppose. Got so excited with only 1.5 months left in the year (50-ish days or so), I started plotting …
Exactly how much did this single girl earn and subsequently spend for most of 2018? Find out…
Today is Dec 15, 2018 and it’s ten days till Christmas. Yippee. With season’s greetings come feelings of reflections of the year. I tend to live in the future (not the moment). I’ve already taken a sneak peek at this year’s income and expenses, and I have so many thoughts. I have so many thoughts …
