Can You Believe?

June 20, 2022 In the wise words of Jonathan Van Ness, when I found out I was chosen for Project Money this year all I could think was, can you believe?! I barely could when I found out and now it’s time to start my journey.Right now, I feel like I’m aware of financial advice and what I *should* be doing, it’s just figuring out how to execute those tips and tricks in a productive way that fits into my lifestyle. As someone who works a lot (and is single with no kids other than my fur babies), I easily fall into expenses of convenience or the “treat yoself” mentality – takeout after a long day instead of cooking, paying someone to do yard work because I hate doing it, heading out for a long weekend trip because I think I deserve it.

How many times did my dad tell me this as a kid when I really wanted McDonald’s? How many times do I tell myself this in a week when I don’t want to cook... It’s that time of the year again when you reminisce and look back over the year and start thinking ahead to next year. Every year, I try to make a personal... Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! This year didn’t really feel like anything special since my goal was to keep it low key. I was able to make a nice dinner... One of the things, or problems, I knew about myself coming into Project Money was that I had a loose budget but I never let that stop me from doing the... I can’t believe we’re halfway through November! I feel like this entire year has just been me saying I can’t believe how time is flying. How is Thanksgiving... One of the biggest things I’ve always been interested in is investing but since I struggle with crunching numbers and finances generally overwhelm me... This week was a busy, chaotic week but a good one and we hit some big goals in this house! First, I finally paid off my last private student loan. It wasn’t...
