  Last week my parents were in town. Because I’m the most (dis)organized person ever, I’d taken on more writing assignments than I could possibly finish before they got here. Instead of hanging out with my parents and showing them around a town which I arguably know hardly anything about since I barely get out…

  Hello and welcome to the third installment of our monthly Financial Progress reports! I’m still learning a good method to do these. This month I messed up a little bit and didn’t write down my deets at the very end of April—April 30th. Most of our loan payments are taken out on the first…

  Be honest with me. When I told you last week about the basic nuts and bolts of travel hacking, did alarm bells start going off in your head? I know. They did in mine too before I started travel hacking too. It’s a good thing for you to be skeptical; the world’s far too…

  What would you say if someone offered you a three-week trip to Peru for only $650? Hells yeah, amiright? Peru is known for being an affordable place to visit, but even by “affordable” standards, that’s very low. The reason? I didn’t pay anything at all for my flight down there and back. Yep, you…

  This spring I’ll be turning 31 years old. That puts me in a distinct minority of people among the generations who are both adept at using the Internet now,  and who can also remember what it was like before the Internet. The Internet has brought many wonderful things like my job and mail-order puppies,…

  Hello and welcome back to our second-ever financial progress report! This month we had some big changes. I had high hopes to pay off a bunch of debt with extra money I’d saved up for taxes with my business. I ended up way oversaving for taxes, and I got to pay myself out a…

  Me and Zach currently live in Colorado. I know what you’re thinking. Endless snowcapped mountains, weed- and craft-beer fueled hippies, and beautiful vistas everywhere, right? I hate it here. Mostly because Alaska—where we met—ruined everything for me. There’s too many goddamn people here, there’s no good forests and big, lush trees for privacy, and…
