It was 5th grade. I was a young ninja about to embark on an epic journey. A journey in to the unknown. A journey in to the land of cracking voices, armpit hair, and a world where girls towered over their male classmates. That’s right, it was a journey through puberty.
I was 10 years old. [...]

Financial Puberty
Do me a favor, ignore the majority of my advice
So I was reading the other day (Yes I do actually know how to read) and came across something profound. I’d like to share it with you now…
No one-size-fits-all recipe can guarantee a great relationship. Whether we’re talking about husband and wife, close friends, co-workers, or parent and child, every relationship is different. No two [...]
Do the hustle…
Do the side-hustle that is. Who doesn’t like making a little extra “coin” each month? I’ve pretty much determined God created me to make money. I love being productive, but I love getting paid to be productive even more. There is something about “extra” income that allows me to spend a tad more care free [...]
What are you worried about?
I’ve never really understood why asking people about money is off limits. What are people worried about? Why is it offensive to ask someone how much their new car cost, how big their mortgage is, or how much they are contributing to their 401K? Finances are often a “don’t ask, don’t tell” gig.
Now I’m not [...]
Freakin’ Frugal Fruitcake
Yo, yo, yo people. Hope your weekend was equally as unproductive as mine I’ve got a fever and the only cure is more cowbell money. I’m a freakin frugal fruitcake (take that alliteration)! My first week back from my workcation and I’m stressed. I forgot how expensive it is to have friends, eat [...]
Who invented babies
Seriously who invented babies, or better yet, who invented the desire to have babies? A while back I wrote an article about the cost of having a kid. Recently, Budgets are Sexy posted up a little article, discussing children becoming a part of his future. The article reminded me of a conversation I had with [...]
The PF Diet
Do you get as frustrated as I get when you see an overweight person excuse their obesity by saying “I tried dieting and it doesn’t work for me.” They are convinced that their genetic makeup is completely different from that of the majority of the human population, and that their DNA somehow gains weight even [...]
Checking accounts and wiping your butt
Seriously. I have never really put much thought in to how much money I should be consistently keeping in my checking account. If you follow my net worth updates, than you’ll notice I have mentioned trying to keep about $1,000 in this account at any given time.
Ask me where I came up with the idea [...]
Go Little or Go Home
Did ya read my blog post on Friday? It was about going big or going home. I listed off five items I refuse to cheap out on. There were some interesting comments left so I encourage you to check it out. I figure we should mix things up on this lovely Tuesday morning. It’s time [...]
Get your grubby hands off my money
Todays guest post comes from a loyal Punch Debt In The Face commenter. David is a student of personal finance, economics, and he is one bada$$ mother lover. He’s done some writing of his own before, but is currently in between blogs. If you like what you read I guess you’ll have to subscribe [...]
