Save Money on Gas!!
I found another cash-back app, homies. Gas in California is ridiculous. In the last month, I’ve saved $20 on gas using the Upside App. It is similar to Ibotta, which I discussed in my post – Easy Beer Money. You can get actual cash money back instead of just gift cards. There wasn’t much hassle…

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…

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.…
