Why you should make a FIERCE account
Note that ya girl is now an affiliate of Fierce Finance. I downloaded the app and made a checking account. It took me 3 mins. The app is just like Robinhood except with no fees & no minimum amount. So far, I’m obsessed. Did I forget to mention that you get paid 5.25% for your…

2026 Ins and Outs
For the second year in a row, I’ve decided to continue this series on my annual Ins & Outs. On a side note, I recently got this thing called a Brick, a physical device that I have to tap to use my social media. It has given me a lot of time back especially on…

2025 recap and realizations
I want to start off by saying this is the year I began heavily outsourcing my brain to AI. I’m not fully sure yet if that’s good or bad although, I used no AI to write this post. #PROUD. 2025 has been an amazing year for me despite it being a not-so-good year for the…

Sundance & Bay Area Trip recap
I spent the last week of my winter break visiting some homies in my old stomping grounds (aka Northern California) and attending the Sundance Film Festival in Utah (a life long goal). I gave myself a $500 spending budget for the week and I spent $514 so I am very proud of myself for sticking…

Get me off this mountain
TL:DR I have regrets about spending over $2k on a ski trip. I recently went to Black Ski, an annual ski trip for MBA students across the country. For many months, I’ve dreaded going on this trip but I thought to myself: “YOLO”. If anyone remembers my Mexico Pity Party post, the vibes on this…

Getting my spark back
There’s been something off about me lately. I can’t really explain it but I just feel it. I’ve been feeling more uninspired than normal. I listened to this book recently called Everything I know about love by Dolly Alderton. I’m loosely paraphrasing, but, in the book, she mentioned how at some point the only joy…

2025 Ins & Outs
I haven’t made New Year’s Resolutions in years. Actually, I don’t really like resolutions anyway. I spent the new year stuffing 12 grapes down my throat at midnight while FaceTiming my bestie. I realized even though I’m playing the role of an emo adult who doesn’t care about holidays or goals or resolutions, I had…

$146,142.85
That, my friends, (based on today’s numbers) is how much I need to make as a starting base salary + bonus in 2026 to live a comfortable life. Of course, my definition of comfortable is very privileged. I don’t want a roommate and I am assuming I’ll continue traveling to new, great places. That is…

A travel year in review (2024)
I spent $13,000 plus 304,800 miles on travel in 2024. I saved about $3,048 by using miles (which I earned since 2022 from travel hacking) to cover some of the flights I booked throughout the year. My two words to summarize this year for me were change and unseriousness. Hey Siri, play “Night Changes” by…

Check In/ Financial plan update
Yo yo yo my good homies! It has been a while. Life has been hectic. I’m writing this instead of sleeping because I messed up my sleep schedule by procrastinating instead of studying for my finals next week. School has been busy and I’m one week away from this semester being over. I wrote some…

Worldview and Workview
TW: potential mental health triggers A few months ago, I was talking with one of my best friends about how I became more and more aware of my existence. We’ll call it an existential crisis. I didn’t have any life threatening moments or brushes with death. I just realized that shit, I’m gonna die one…
