Why I’m Not Buying a Ticket to FinCon19 (& FinCon18 Recap)

Apologies for not linking out to all the amazing people and friends I saw at FinCon18! My internet is very dodgy currently, making my usual habit of 20+ tabs for hyperlinking purposes untenable. Know that I’m thinking of you. ❤ At the end of FinCon17, I immediately bought my ticket for FinCon18. Meeting so manyContinue reading “Why I’m Not Buying a Ticket to FinCon19 (& FinCon18 Recap)”

2017 Recap, 2018 Goals, and a Guest Post

Happy 2018, y’all! As I’m writing this, Fergus, Fluffster, and I are currently sitting (and one of us is whining) in a Red Roof Inn wondering what the weird sound coming from the bathroom is.

To Chromebook or Not to Chromebook

I just got a new computer. And I love it. I primarily wanted something for writing (this blog + other random projects), and for general checking email, browsing the web and the like. I needed something lightweight and portable, something I could pick up on a whim for hours of creation. I went with aContinue reading “To Chromebook or Not to Chromebook”

How I Made $0 In 13 Months of Blogging

And you, too, can be just like me! In all seriousness, that is my actual earning statement after officially blogging for 13 months (well, more like -$99 due to hosting and domain name). I’m writing this post for two reasons: (1) It is insanely easy to glamorize the lives of your favorite bloggers, or toContinue reading “How I Made $0 In 13 Months of Blogging”

How to Gala on a Budget

Hey all! Yesterday my guest post for the Millennial Money Man was published! Read about my trials and tribulations attending a gala. That’s right, a gala. On two days notice. Yeah… If you would also be freaked out and have no idea what to wear, definitely check the article out. I cover basic dress code guidelines, and ofContinue reading “How to Gala on a Budget”
