It is not fun to worry about money. I’ve been fortunate throughout my “adulthood” that I can afford rent, food, entertainment, and everything else, but from time to time, my spending gets away from me and I suddenly feel tight for cash. It’s probably because my roommate won’t pay rent. Silly kitty. I have been a…
Over the weekend, I finally did something that has been on my “goal” list for a while. I sent a newsletter out to 50 people. It doesn’t sound like much, but I was pretty excited about it. I’ve been working as a Beachbody Coach for a while now, and when I first started out, I…
My financial situation is always something that sits in the back of my head. I’m really fortunate, though, to always be “fine.” I never have $0.00 staring at me on my bank statements, I don’t get nervous about making my rent, I can have fun with friends, and have even started to pile up a…
Thanks to my newest purchase, I’ve really focused on money more than I ever have before. I’ve been putting each cost under a microscope, trying to figure out if it’s something I really need to be buying.

Cash is king, that’s what it comes down to. Aside from my regular, full time, salaried job, I freelance and also work as a part-time Marketing Director. It’s a lot of time, but makes me a nice amount of money that I can put in an account and not touch unless I TRULY need it,…
Over the past week or so, I’ve told myself that I just need to have a good cry. Ever had that feeling? It’s a nice release of emotion – which I’ve needed lately. I recommend one. Without going into all the details about why I’ve been so emotional (mostly frustration), I will describe what finally…
Yesterday, my friend asked me how many times a week I go to yoga. I responded, “Twice, because it’s $15 a class, and I can’t spend that much money.” Isn’t that sad? I can’t go to yoga more often because I can’t afford it? I’ve been trying to work on budgeting now that I’m moving…
