Financial Fitness Check-In: November 2023
So it was supposed to be a No-Spend November, and overall I did quite well. But for all my bluster about avoiding Black Friday, I succumbed. I did do what I said I would and only bought things I have been thinking about for ages or actually needed. I bought a printer, ink, and a…

Financial Fitness Check-In: October 2023
October was baaaaad. I knew it was going to be an expensive month. I spent a full week down in Guelph at an AirBnB (it was paid for in September), and I ate out a lot basically the entire week, got some beauty appointments done, and bought some things I wasn’t planning on buying. Let’s…

No-Spend November
I have been feeling like I need a hard reset. Life has just been super busy the past few months, good busy, the best busy. But during the pandemic I got really used to keeping my apartment to a certain level of organization, my finances to a certain level of healthy, my chores a certain…

Financial Fitness Check-In: September 2023
This is the second last month of the Year of Weddings and I CANNOT wait to be having a normal budget month. It’s only going to be November because in December I will be travelling home for the holidays, and then in January be coming back up north. So we have November and then February…

Financial Fitness Check-In: August 2023
The summer of spending money would be a very accurate description. Taylor Swift in Minneapolis in June, Phoenix, New York, London, and Ireland in July, Toronto in August. It’s not slowing down at all until mid-October, but I am actually thinking that we will be making a net return for the black in September. But…

I have been in Phoenix, New York, London, all over Northern Ireland, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, and still have two more weddings (in one trip, thank God) and I am feeling very frazzled. I made a TikTok on Monday going…

Financial Fitness Check-In: July 2023
Well, I just checked my student loan account and at my current rate of payment I will have them paid off in November, 2033. And that sent me into a spiral. I have another DECADE. Doing that right after logging all my vacation month spends was not the best idea. But we did it. Which,…

Financial Fitness Check-In: June 2023
Do I have any regrets? Some small ones. Is Taylor Swift one of them? Heck no. Neither are the tennis lessons or really anything else, I’ve decide that all of this stuff is October me’s problem. Obvious disclaimer: this is not a wise way to conduct your financial planning, however, I want to enjoy my…

What I’m Buying in June
I need to preface this by saying, listen I told y’all that Q2 and Q3 were going to be expensive. One. 28″ Checked Wheelie Bag. When I took my big checked case home for the holidays I had a terrible time. When it’s full it doesn’t stand up on it’s own because the stand part…
