If you’ve spent any time at all on my blog, you know I am a huge proponent of Mint budget tracking software. No, I don’t get paid to advocate for them (but hello Mint, if you want to pay me, I am totally open to that…). Mint was quite simply the first budget tracking program…
DetailsI’ve been watching this awesome new sitcom this fall called Mom. It stars Anna Faris and Allison Janney, and the premise is they are mother and daughter—-both recovering addicts—-going through all of the challenges that addicts generally face when working through sobriety. In case it doesn’t sound like it, let me tell you, they are…
DetailsI was just talking to a client who said, “I would give up all of the money I am making this year if I could make things right with my daughter.” She noticed when her business was doing really well, things with her family would start to fall apart, and vice versa. She knew what she…

Politics are not my area, but so much of the time it intersects with financial security, and what it means for an individual’s situation.

This makes it a great time to recommit to those things you flaked out on all summer! I always say, financial management isn’t about being perfect 100% of the…
DetailsI wrote a post about a week ago that struck a nerve. I talked about how men paying for dates isn’t a money issue, and it sparked a lot of controversy; mostly, people concerned about the implications of what it meant.
