A blog about college, investing, cooking, psychology, saving money and general life concepts.
That's what I used to tell myself growing up because no one around me ever went to college. Jail? Sure, but college, no. It's funny, though, because I always had the broke part of being a college student down, but never the college student part. Perhaps I was always supposed to be broke but never... Continue Reading →
Imagine meeting someone for the first time, someone intriguing. You find yourself interested in them, experiencing a sudden case of nerves that you write off as butterflies. You can’t stop thinking about them. You want to be around them all the time, and they leave just enough breadcrumbs to keep you coming back. You convince... Continue Reading →
The thing that scares me the most about going back to college is the possibility of my younger versions showing up. Let me explain, my track record with school hasn't always been great. I grew up in a rough environment and it translated into my educational journey. Even as an adult I can still feel... Continue Reading →

In October of 2023 I had taken a break from investing. With inflation combined with a low income I needed... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered how someone who has been labeled as a degenerate throughout their life suddenly finds success in their later years? Or imagine being someone who has spent their 20s and 30s failing time and time again, only to find success in their 40s. We often are left to ask why success comes... Continue Reading →
I also think this is why it is so hard for me to sometimes believe, investing, is something that has the ability to create financial security. Growing up, financial matters were a thing, money was often talked about, because there wasn't enough of it. People who didn't work would take from others. In my own... Continue Reading →
Some of the BEST articles I read on investing, psychology, business and personal finance. Back in 2018 I came across a blog, ran by value investor Joshua Kennon. I spent two years reading and rereading articles by him and other investors. Before that there was a period in 2015 when I opened up my first... Continue Reading →
