I’ve been looking back over my last year and reflecting recently. I’m thinking about my debt payoff journey and introduction into pf blogging, thinking about myself and who I am now. I am realizing that I am super good at commitment. When I really, truly want something with all my heart I fucking commit to getting […]
No Spend October- The Spending Fast is Back!
October is TOMORROW. It’s going to be a busy, busy month for me. I’ve signed up for a lot of catering events and I’ve got a bunch of work for the non profit to organize and execute. I’m excited and a little apprehensive! I’ve also decided to do another no-spend month. It worked out really […]
September Recap: Getting Back on Track
September is already almost over. I really feel like this month was gone in an instant! That’s probably because I started the month with a wonderful vacation and haven’t been catering all month long. It’s felt so decadent to have both of my weekend days free! It’s also started to finally cool down a bit here […]
What I’ve Learned From 13 Years of Part Time Work
I’ve worked part time for the last 13 years of my life. I have never, ever had a full time job. I’ve held a lot of different jobs and I’ve done a lot of under the table work.

Make Money Off Your Hobbies
A buffalo coin (worth $50!) After my delightful clothing swap a few weeks back I found myself with a ton of clothes. The way my clothing swaps work is everyone leaves their clothes and the host disposes of them somehow. Usually people take them to Goodwill and that was part of my plan too. However, […]
A Note From the Road
Arches National Park VACATION IS THE BEST! Why isn’t life always vacation? I guess I wouldn’t appreciate it as much if life was always vacation but I’m sure appreciating it right now. My boyfriend and I hit the road for an 8 day road trip last Saturday. We’re hitting New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. We’ve […]
Free is All Around Us: Have a Clothing Swap
Snacks for the swap Monday night I hosted my very own clothing swap! I’ve attended a few over the past year but never been the host. I love clothing swaps. They’re a fantastic way to meet people, pick up new clothes for free and spend a few hours in the company of other women. I’m […]
August Recap: Most Expensive Month of the Year
August has been far and away the most expensive moth of the year for me. Even though I have stayed true to my leftover diet and free entertainment I have been hemorrhaging money this month. The hits just keep on coming!
