2025 recap and realizations

Get me off this mountain
TL:DR I have regrets about spending over $2k on a ski trip. I recently went to Black Ski, an annual ski trip for MBA students across the country. For many months, I’ve dreaded going on this trip but I thought to myself: “YOLO”. If anyone remembers my Mexico Pity Party post, the vibes on this…

Let’s not be so serious
Two days ago, I decided to book a flight to Canada for next week on a whim. I miss my friends. This is probably the most spontaneous I’ve ever been. I said fuck the budget. I don’t think I have enough vacation and the flight was expensive but I really said fuck it, let’s go.…

Abundant Anxiety
I’ve been trying and failing to have an abundance mindset towards money. Since I’m quitting in 3 months, I’ve been regressing hardcore into the scarcity mindset. Disclaimer: I am mostly joking about chest tightness, but my anxiety is very real. A quick refresher on the concept. An abundance mindset towards money is believing that money…
