Long train rides
I love Amtrak trains, and no one can change my mind. I’ve always had a general love for long train rides, though, since I despise driving. I think I’m the main character looking at the scenery before I get inspiration for the new phase of my life. Buses are ghetto though I won’t lie about…

Japan – Day 1 & 2
Yo yo yo homies! I’m in Japan baby. Konnichiwa. Day 1 I got to the airport around 3pm. We were all tired but excited nonetheless. We all got different accommodations. For context, we are 5 people on the trip – two couples & sexy, single GZFB. We all have different plans for things we wanna…

What do I value?
Some major life updates: I got promoted and I paid off half my student loan. Yee to the Haw baby. I’ve been having some nagging thoughts regarding returning to school to get my MBA. Since I joined the ChooseFI band wagon this year, I’m rethinking a lot of my previous reasons for applying to top…

Almost died in SF
But I saved $73 in Ubers so like… worth it. I know I said 1 post a week, but y’all should know I love this blog too much. I’m trying to manage expectations 🙂 I went to SF last week to party with my homies. Alas, the night was all types of rocky. When I…

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……
