My week consisted of yet even more overtime, taking a ride on the NYC transit ferry for the first time, entering the Hadestown ticket lottery (and not winning), and going to a work-sponsored HH, overall not so bad! This week on the blog I was feeling a bit nostalgic so I wrote my thoughts on … More HeyLookAtThis! June 15, 2019
It’s only within the past couple of years (of my salaried, adult working life) that I’ve bothered to learn anything about personal finance or how money works, but now I’m actively seeking out and learning about how to manage it (401k is investing!?). It’s a process! A journey! A uphill climb! However you want to … More What I Wish I Could Tell My Younger Self About Money
Kind of slow week on the blog because my week outside the internet was a bit busy: I caught up with my friend who lives in Texas while she was in town, worked some overtime at my job, and went to the gym a couple of times (#sweatingforthe__)! This week I wrote about my spending … More HeyLookAtThis! June 8, 2019
This month’s spending habits breakdown is brought to you by my re-vamped Mint account. I’ve added my student loan account, my 401(k), and my new credit card to my account so I could get a sense of my net worth (still in the negatives in case anyone is wondering how my student loans are doing). … More Spending Habits: May 2019
This week on the blog I posted my review of Seven Blades in Black and my experience with Ibotta! In publishing world everyone is in NYC for BookExpo and Book Con.

Or a better title, how long it took to get my $20 payoff! It took 10 months to reach the $20 threshold for redeeming my savings. Is it worth it? The reward took a very long time to see. Part of that reason is because I didn’t want to overspend. I was very conscious that … More My Experience with Ibotta

The longest weeks are the weeks before some time off! I’ve been looking forward to the long weekend for a while! I’m planning on doing a lot of reading and relaxing. This week on the blog I wrote about what I bought in the name in the travel (please someone help me lol) and this … More HeyLookAtThis! May 25, 2019
In March I went on a lovely 10-day trip to Europe with my boyfriend (now fiancé!), and it was an experience I’ll never forget. We did so much in the time that we were overseas. Leading up to the trip, however, I kind of let my budget slide “in the name of travel,” which by … More 19 Things I Bought in the Name of Travel
Hope everyone is having a lovely week, except those who support the GOP. This isn’t my usual format for these weekly recaps, but these abortion laws have been weighing heavily on me. What an infuriating time to be a citizen of the United States. As if the Georgia 6-week abortion ban was bad enough (at … More HeyLookAtThis! May 18, 2019
