A blog about college, investing, cooking, psychology, saving money and general life concepts.
It's been a while since I shared a broke college student meal for those looking for easier meals on the wallet, especially if you're trying to save money on groceries. I like to keep recipes and cooking simple, with meals that don't require much time or ingredients. I made this meal in the middle of... Continue Reading →
Does it really matter how many hours a productive person works? Have we all been taught wrong about what it means to be productive? Here's the thing, we've all been taught that hours tied to active work are tied to our performance and self-worth. That the x amount of hours we work, the more valuable... Continue Reading →
It's Tuesday, and fall quarter is right around the corner. Next Monday, I will be getting up at 9:30 to catch the 10:15 am bus once more, with a full schedule of classes waiting for me. It's funny how when summer quarter ended, I was both eager for the break and eager for classes to... Continue Reading →

I've come across this quote more than once: "Act like you can't afford the bread until they find out you own the bakery," and it has stuck with me ever since. If you have been here for a while, you know that the whole purpose of this blog is to understand the mindset of being... Continue Reading →
If you want a life different from everybody else, then you can't think like everybody else. This also applies to you as an investor. You won't have to go far to find someone telling you what to own, what to move, or what to manage in your own portfolio. For instance, I see users on... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I walked by McDonald's after picking up a hot deli lunch at Walmart for the first time. I had gone to grab a pair of new sweatpants. The weather is changing, and it's getting colder. I also found my stomach growling, so I picked up a couple of BBQ pork sandwiches and a Nathan's... Continue Reading →
