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…

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.

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……

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…

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…
