How do people think other people get rich, anyway?
Posted on January 11, 2012 | 31 CommentsDisclaimer: I am fully aware that this is a First World problem, to complain about prices and money in general, but as I am living in a First World and not a Third World, this is my reality for now especially as a PF blogger.... -
Why people think $20 is more expensive than a $20 increase
Posted on January 6, 2012 | 23 CommentsIf that title didn’t make sense, it will after I explain! So where I work, you can buy a parking pass for $100. If you decide not to, the cost of parking is $6/day, and if you consider there are about 20 working days, that’s... -
What is ‘comfort food’?
Posted on January 4, 2012 | 25 CommentsWhat is comfort food to you? For me, it’s foods I am familiar with from my childhood, or tasty things that make me feel all warm, fuzzy and satisfied when I eat them. Tartiflette is a comfort food for me — sliced potatoes covered in... -
Would you rather have more time or more money?
Posted on December 23, 2011 | 11 CommentsI’m sure we’d all scream: BOTH! BOTH! like kids in a candy store, but if you had to choose one over the other what would it be? When I was in debt, I wanted more money. I didn’t care about hours, burn out, being frustrated,... -
Are women burning out by the age of 30?
Posted on December 19, 2011 | 25 CommentsRead an article the other day on Forbes about Millennial women (my generation!) burning out by the time they hit the age of 30. …..ambitious [women] go-getters are working as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and advertising executives, blessed with great salaries, health benefits, and paid vacation.... -
What if money wasn’t in the picture at all?
Posted on November 16, 2011 | 11 CommentsIn preparation for a new year and a fresh start, I thought I’d throw a question out there: What if you had so much money (millions, MILLIONS) that you could pretty much buy and do whatever you wanted? What would you do first to use... -
Is blogging a waste of time and money?
Posted on November 9, 2011 | 22 CommentsThis blog post is blatantly inspired by Jacq of Single Mom Rich Mom who writes so eloquently: Without a goal, a blog is a huge time suck. And blogging is not a goal – or a means to a goal for 99.9% of people. I... -
Wage Gaps between Genders: Who’s responsibility is it to fix it?
Posted on October 31, 2011 | 7 CommentsArticle: The Glass Hammer — “Whose Responsibility is Fixing the Wage Gap?“ Good article in general, but I want to highlight a few points for discussion. Please, if you are going to disagree with me or especially with any of my readers commenting, I totally... -
No one is in competition with each other: it’s all in your head
Posted on October 12, 2011 | 3 CommentsI certainly don’t feel like I fit into a neat category. (Maybe I do, and I just can’t see it objectively.) See, I love clothes and shopping, but I am not in debt for it, nor have I paid a cent in credit card interest... -
Sometimes you just want a big piece of cake
Posted on October 7, 2011 | 10 CommentsYou know how people say: Hey, I’m totally fine with eating only fruits as being my only form of sugar? I can eat an apple and have my sweet tooth satiated (Meg I am looking at you!) Well that doesn’t seem to work on me,...
