August 25, 2016

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  I’ve always been fascinated with learning new languages, ever since I saw the movie Boondock Saints where the Irish brothers talk in several different languages together to confuse people.

  Working out has all kinds of benefits, but it can be hard in lots of ways. I’ve spent the last ten years trying to fight the effects of being a small (weak) person who is aging—my own mother was stick-thin like me until she was 26 years old, and then things started to…change. Well,…

The ONE Question That Reshaped How I Look At Money

August 4, 2016

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  I used to not pay much attention to how I spent money. If I had money, I spent it. If I didn’t have money, I didn’t spend it. I didn’t pay any attention to what I bought beyond whatever flashy thing happened to be in front of me at the moment. Savings? Forget it….

  Pokemon Go seems like the latest craze that everyone’s getting into (Zach included). I’m not a gamer, but I can get behind the idea of a game that gets people outside, exploring, and interacting with others in a community. This made me think of another activity…geocaching. Me and Zach used to go geocaching a…

Could You Live On $1,233/Month? Why I’m Saving For Retirement Now

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  I don’t watch TV very often now, but one of the shows I did watch was Doomsday Preppers on the National Geographic channel (I’m not sure what that has to do with being either national or geographic, but whatever). I used to laugh at them and their intense worry and preparation for things that…

How I Was Paid Over $78,000 To Get My Master’s Degree

July 7, 2016

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  In my last post, I talked about one of my most embarrassing money decisions: using my student loan money from my undergrad degree for some not-so-scholarly purchases. I’m a bit in need of some redemption. I’ve already eaten too many pity-party tacos, so it’s time to focus on a good financial move. They’re few…

My Worst Student Loan Purchases

  I’ve got a bit of a confession to make. It’s something I don’t tell a lot of people about (in fact, I’m pretty sure my parents have never heard this). You see, I haven’t always made the best choices in the world. Sometimes though, it’s helpful to look back so that you can learn…
