On the Interweb

Wondering what all of you use to follow your favorite websites and blogs? My favorite is Bloglovin! I think it’s better than Google Reader. It’s got a pretty, clean interface. In fact, it looks a lot like my own! Once…

Money Monday: Sex, Lies, and Balance Sheets

It’s Money Monday and today I want to talk about fiscal betrayal. It’s a known fact that men lie about their height, women lie about their weight, and people lie about their finances. We all do. I do! When a…

Money Monday – Always Save 1%

Times are tough. We can all benefit from financial advice. It’s embarrassing that someone with an MBA needs a financial advisor, but I do. I need someone to look at my total financial picture, understand my goals, and give me…

Photo Editing

This took me almost two hours to create. Teaching myself a new editing application, dealing with a slow connection, a slow computer, or plain bad luck. I’ve never been a photographer which is why my blog has been lacking in…
