GZFB is 1
Today is the 1st anniversary of my first post on the blog. In my first post, I talked about being a Budgetosexual. I was referring to my obsession with following my budget in my quest for financial independence. I am grateful for all the support from the personal finance community I’ve met during this year.…

My company cut me off
Cut off from lunches. Not employment. They cut everyone off because the company isn’t having a great year financially. I knew one day they’d cut us off. The dreaded day is here. I have to meal prep again. Bruh. Well, getting free lunches or coffee was always a perk of the job. It definitely made…

Doing things I’m bad at
In my new quest to live in the now, instead of waiting for my life to start, I enrolled in a hip-hop dance class that is a 5-minute from my apartment. If you’ve followed the blog since I started, you’d know that 2023 is my #LivingInTheNow year. It was the advice my therapist gave me…

Waiting for life to start?
TL:DR I’m spiraling about my future. I’ve been in waiting mode for a few weeks. I’m waiting to hear back from my schools. Waiting to quit my job. Waiting to leave Buttfuck, CA. Waiting for my future stable lover to find me in my apartment. I’ve been feeling very anxious and aware that I’m waiting…

Forte MBA Launch Review

Celebrate your wins, bitch
I do something weird when I spend months/years trying to achieve a goal. I do nothing. Once I’ve completed the goal, I move on to the next thing without acknowledging or enjoying the fact that I have reached a fantastic goal. Why do I do this? On a recent episode of the psychology of your…

Stock Market Boi & Spiderman
I want to give an update on my dating life. I have been trying to develop a roster. WOW! SEXY! I have been unsuccessful in this roster building, but I will not give up. Note that options in ButtFuck, CA, are limited, and I will not be driving long distances for a man. I’ve done…

4 Interviews and Counting…
This isn’t a pipe dream anymore. I’m moving to start my new life in less than 9 months. I have interviews with Emory, UCLA, Columbia, and Yale. Since this is getting real, I have to remind myself of what I value. My mum asked me today – ‘what is the average cost of an MBA?’.…

Change.
How much venting and complaining is okay before you need to make a change? That’s a rhetorical question, but if you have an answer, hit me up. I reached a point in my life maybe around 2 years ago where I don’t want to complain about my life. When I was younger, I could blame…

Spending with Intent: October
My new skincare routine & bubble baths. My face feels softer than a baby’s feet. I don’t know why I used that analogy, but you understand. I recently got a discoloration correction serum from Good Molecules and Rose Hip Seed oil for The Ordinary. I stay glowing using the face wash, this serum, oil, and…
