You Have More Than You Think : Why I Quit My Job

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:13:27 +0000

Good for you. I too, am a fellow quitter. You can only go up if you have an attitude like that. I'm also sad for them losing such a great employee who loved being there. I like it when people enjoy what they do so... *heart* :)

Well-Heeled, With a Mission : Annual Goals vs. Monthly Goals

Mon, 2 Jan 2012 17:03:18 +0000

Annual goals: General, like "SAVING!!!!" and then I put one benchmark like wanting to hit a certain net worth. Then for each month, I just adhere to the big goal, but I may say things like: Try to only spend $300 on a flight to _____ and so on. Specific items.

You Have More Than You Think : How to Kick the Habit of Wasteful Spending by Asking Yourself Two Basic Questions

Well if you spend 3 hours washing clothes when it could be done in an hour by a machine and hung to dry, then I don't really think I'd want to save that $3. But if it's something like spending an hour to make sure your bills are paid so you don't get hit by fees of $50 or more just because you were being dumb, I spend the time to reconcile everything.

Poor or not, everyone should look clean and presentable. It bothers me when people walk around with holes in their t-shirts and say: I don't care what others think, I'm [rich] [whatever]...

You Have More Than You Think : Who Says You Can't Pay Cash for a House?

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:05:47 +0000

I loathe debt. Ever since getting out of $60k of student debt, I do NOT want to get into any kind of lease, loan or mortgage for anything like a house or a car. Seriously, I can live without a house, and I can always get around on a very cheap car. I don't need the best, if it means I have to fork over $500+ of my money per month to something I couldn't buy in full. Cash for everything --> my motto. I don't have the cash, I don't buy it.

For me, they used to have cute items. Whimsical patterns that were subtle but not crazy, stylish clothing that was classic but with a twist, and absolutely worth the $$. They had prints, patterns and really cool styles without being too trendy. Now, it's overpriced, they're trying to show things I'd never dream of putting on my body, and I don't see those lovely pieces I used to before. There have only been 4 dresses in the past 3 years that I've just absolutely loved. The rest of their stuff? Ick.

Well-Heeled, With a Mission : "I can't believe they spend money on that..." - Expenses That Are Judged The Most

Mon, 7 Nov 2011 16:07:07 +0000

There are always expenses that are deemed more intellectual and better than others Intellectual: Books Travel Education Not-Intellectual: Clothing Cars Any status symbol Personally, I only judge if I don't feel like it's really worth the value. E.g. $300 flip flops...

Is it possible that you look even cuter? Unlike me, when I had --my-- wisdom teeth taken out, my friend turned to me and said: Girl, don't get fat. It's not a good look on you.

Give Me Back My Five Bucks : What qualifies you to be a personal finance blogger?

Fri, 13 May 2011 16:22:48 +0000

You need to make 6 figures to be a PF blogger? OMFG. That's hilarious. Someone told me I wasn't qualified to talk about PF solely because I made too much money and couldn't relate. For the record, I wasn't born making that kind of salary and I KNOW what it feels like to not have any (hello minimum wage jobs and working full-time during college). That's just craziness. Anyone can be a PF blogger as long as they talk about money and how it affects them. Period. I've been asked for my credentials before and you know what I say? I'm just a girl who got out of $60,000 of debt. That's it. Many people wouldn't take advice from someone who has been in debt, that's true... but we know what it feels like to have to worry about spending even a PENNY that could go towards debt.
