Editors Note: I wrote this days after saying goodbye to Patrick as a way for me to process, cope, and rationalize what happened. It has not been proofread, and there are probably still typos. It just hurts to read through this again, so I hope you’ll overlook that. When I was 19, I found an ad in a newspaper. Someone… Read More
Not gonna lie- I’m irritated. I’ve been seeing lot of personal finance messages that tells us to: Live a little Buy the daily latte it won’t make a difference Don’t give up eating out- it won’t move the needle The message is empowering for some and truly detrimental for others. Where the “treat yo’ self” message goes wrong is that… Read More

You probably know that there’s a mysterious number tied to your identity called your credit score. I say it’s mysterious because like most people, you probably aren’t sure exactly how it was determined, what it means, if it’s important, or what you can to do make it better (and why you want to)!

Editors Note: Post from the perspective of Lindsay Nichols. There are some great insights and tidbits that we can all learn from. When I was a kid, I didn’t realize that my family was living a frugal lifestyle. My Mama (who raised my sister and I as a single mom) did a really good job of hiding her stress about… Read More
This post is sponsored, but all opinions are my own. My first ever yoga experience was hilarious. For some reason, I decided hot yoga was a good place to begin. I went in with my rolled up purple yoga mat, commitment that I was going to stretch, and meditate (never mind that I could barely touch my toes.) So I… Read More
