Got another rejection today. Well technically, it’s a rejection I already knew was coming, so I’ve already partially experienced it. Getting the email didn’t make it sting any less, however. In fact just yesterday, I applied to four more jobs at the same company. I like to torture myself. Although a feel-good article I read …
So last week I returned from my last planned excursion for 2019. I added the final figures to my spreadsheet and thought I would share for the financial voyeurs out there. It also helps me to take a moment and analyze. This spending is not typical for me. The last time I took anything other …
I got back from Ecuador last week. It was pretty great. I had a good time overall. I ate well (three hot meals a day), got okay sleep, and spent a bit of time outdoors. I hiked, traveled by canoe, and almost ate beetle larvae. I dipped my feet in hot springs, called the US …
So when my student loan post first came out sometime last year (2018), I received a lot of attention and mixed feedback. To this day, I still get the sporadic suggestion to aggressively pay off this debt or the ‘you’ll never retire early with that much debt.’ Thanks? Pay off $300,000 of unsecured debt? Honestly, …
So as it turns out, I’m incredibly impatient. I’ve always been a little anxious (not clinically, of course). When I was in school for my last degree, I knew I’d have to work 30 more years so what was the point of a part-time job. In fact growing up, I’d always thought it’d be nice …

So many people tell you that what matters in life is how you get back up when you’ve been kicked down. Is it though? Is that what matters? Is it actually a fact of life that we have to be kicked down? And consequentially get back up? Is there no one that has never been …
So, I started formally tracking my expenses Jan 2018. I did it for a year, and it was enlightening to notice the trends. For the most part I update my spreadsheet every three months and have been posting the results. My blog also includes my projected budget for the year which serves as a guidepost …
For my 35th birthday, I decided to get out of the house every weekend in March. If you haven’t met me, I spend most of my free time at home in front of the television. Lately, I’ve been getting a little bored of that and itching to do something different. I don’t think I love …
