I am OBSESSED with the Anti-Work forum on Reddit. I can’t believe how some people are treated by their employers! I think it’s good these stories are shared, so that people can support each other and be treated humanely. Sort of can’t believe I need to say that… but the forum will SHOCK you. I…
I used to believe that one day I would be done dieting. Like, someday I would magically hit on the right combination of healthy diet and exercise that would make all future “diets” or new “exercise regimes” unnecessary. I would float through the rest of my life free and unburdened from these mundane things if…
We all have one of those friends — on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter — and her life looks like something out of a glossy magazine. She posts pictures of the fresh flowers on her desk at work at least once a week, pictures of mouthwatering meals at restaurants, and her perfectly manicured toes poking out…
When talking about time management, Randi Zuckerberg famously said, “Maintaining friendships. Building a great company. Spending time with family. Staying fit. Getting sleep.

Have you ever thought about the phrase “give until it hurts?” In my twenties, I was always giving until it hurt — for one reason or another. Because back then, I was all about trying to “fix” everything and make it all “perfect.” And for me, money was just another tool in that quest. I…
Let’s imagine two people: Brad and Janet who are in roughly the same financial situation. Brad is constantly stressed out about money. He struggles to make ends meet every month, doesn’t have a savings plan, and has no idea where his money is going. He doesn’t think there’s any way out of his troubles unless…
There is one point about money that is more important than any other, and that’s to understand what is required to generate wealth. Financial planning only matters if you have the potential to produce money in the first place. It’s like a car with no gas…how far do you think you’ll get, expecting the engine…
This is one of those posts I re-up every year because I think it’s soooo important. Everybody says they want a good relationship with their money…but what does that even mean? Does it mean you’re cool with money until there is a conflict and then you turn on it? Just how deep or superficial is…
