The Quality Items I’ve Decluttered and Why

The Quality Items I've Decluttered and Why

I don’t have a lot of stuff. On the day I moved in with my husband, I had booked the U-Haul truck for the entire day. It took us less than an hour to move. Then my husband and I were left just sitting there on the stoop, twiddling our thumbs. While I don’t have […]

“High Spend Alert!”: The Message That Plagued Me in Q1

High Spend Alert!: The Message That Plagued Me in Q1

The next ep of Game of Thrones is airing in T-minus three hours so I can’t afford to beat around the bush: Our Q1 numbers really sucked. April is a popular time for bloggers to reflect on their quarterly spending, and I love reading about other people’s frugal wins. Especially ones that are along the […]

How Much Should You Spend on Housing?

I clicked around on Streeteasy this past weekend. Just for fun. Well, you know how that goes. Of course I fell in love with an apartment for sale. Even though I’m technically not in the market to buy a place. But hear me out. The master bedroom had a walk-in closet–the stuff of my HGTV […]

My Favorite Reader Comments from 2018

One of the best notes I’ve ever received is when someone said they’d always come back to my blog just to read through the comments. So instead of recapping everything I did last year, today I wanted to shift the focus on you guys! Because this blog isn’t anything without the community. Here are my […]

How I Deal When I’m Not 100% Feeling My Job

What I Do When I’m Not 100% Feeling My Job

I’m writing this on a Sunday, which means that like most people, I’ve got the Sunday Scaries. “I can’t wait until Monday,” said no one ever. As it turns out, 85% of the world isn’t thrilled with their jobs. I obnoxiously fall into the other 15%. My boss is one of the best I’ve ever had, […]

How My Moth Problem Was a Money Lesson in Disguise

How My Moth Problem Was a Money Lesson in Disguise

I always thought clothes-eating moths were an old wives’ tale. In all my years of being careless I had skated by, scot-free (or shall I say, hole-free?). My friends never seemed to report moth problems, either. Because I had internalized the belief that clothing moths didn’t exist, I was cavalier about how I stored my […]

Why I’m Glad I Got a “Worthless” Liberal Arts Degree

Why I’m Glad I Got a Worthless Liberal Arts Degree

Because nobody was involved in my education, and because I didn’t know any better, I graduated college with an English degree. It wasn’t until three years after I’d started college that it occurred to my mom to find out what she had been paying for the entire time. She was headed to a party that […]
