It’s Application Season
Wassup homies! I have 48 days till my Round 1 deadlines. So I’m actually going to switch to 1 post a week in the meantime so I can manage my time and stress better. Sadly. My therapist convinced me I shouldn’t work on my MBA applications when I go to Japan. I’m like, ‘Girl you…

$106 & free insect repellant.
I optimized the scam I wrote about a week ago. I returned to get more ice cream but redeemed the offers up to the cashback limits this time. I got a solid $50 again, baby. So that was $100 total from my Ibotta cash-back adventures (use referral code xpfeqyi for $5 more at sign up).…

I maxed out my Roth IRA
I’m not sure it was the best idea to use my student loan money to finish off my contributions in a lump sum. But I have no patience for dollar cost averaging. By the way, dollar cost averaging is choosing to contribute a specific amount of money into the stock market over a fixed period.…

Let’s quit this bitch
I started thinking about what I would need to do/have to feel comfortable quitting my 9-5 in March. For those new to the blog, I’m returning to school for my MBA in Fall 2024 (manifesting this even though I haven’t applied yet). But I’ve been thinking about having a summer vacation. A long summer vacation.…

I scammed my 9-5
On this episode of GZFB scams, I got $50 for getting ice cream for my coworkers. And free ice cream, of course. It’s been hot out here in Butt Fuck, CA. So I came up with the ‘nice’ idea of getting ice cream for my team every week (or whenever it’s over 100 degrees). But……

Boston 2023 Trip Review
Harvard was not what I expected. I felt some type of way. But I still want them to accept me though! Ok, I’ll break down a little bit about why I thought that. Firstly, I got to the dorms with my big ass suitcases from Nigeria. I was on the 3rd floor and there was…

A free night in Boston
80,000 Hilton points later and I got 1 free night baby. I got my Hilton Surpass Card (AMEX) back in February. At that time they were having a bonus of 140,000 points. Which is equivalent to about 3 nights (if you’re better at planning than me). It’s the same card that I wrote about last…

Nigeria Trip Review Part 2
If you are Nigerian and grew up in Lagos, you might be able to relate to some of this. If you’re visiting Lagos, these might be some things to note as you travel. THING 1 My business is everyone’s business: everywhere I go, I run into someone who either knows me or my parents. I’ve…

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…

Free.99 Lounge Access
After my last 3 experiences using lounges at the airport during my Nigeria trip, I don’t think I can go back to the peasant life. I’m calling all of us that never use lounges – peasants! JK JK Lounges have free meals and a comfortable quiet place to wait for your flight. Some lounges even have…
