Real financial advice for real scientists
Another end of the month means it’s time for a…. quick debt update! I share my debt repayments with you guys monthly so you can see my progress. I also share so you can see what a debt payoff journey looks like in real time. Debt payoff sucks and as sexy as people make it…
$85,966 left to go – all student loans! This month we’re still just making the minimum payments while focusing on bumping our emergency fund back up.
As a financial blogger, sometimes I like to think that I’ve got my shit together. The truth is, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I fuck up royally, and guess what folks, it’s this month. See, I’ve been sort of hiding something from everyone, and this is the month I get it off my chest. It’s kind…
January 2019 was a just-OK month for us. But that doesn’t mean it was a bad month – far from the truth! In fact, in the upcoming months we’ll be able to make BIG progress towards our goal of being debt-free. W00t! Also new in this video, I walk you through my own Undebt.it…

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…
Welcome, my friends, to Go Science Finance’s first monthly report.
