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…

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.…

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…

My relationship with stuff
One of the things I love about living in America is ‘the return policy’. Having moved from Nigeria, it has been difficult to let go of my “I-must-keep-everything-I-buy” mentality. Throughout college, I never returned anything I bought regardless of whether it was useful or not. However, I recently listened to ‘A Year of Less’ by…
