Today, I have a guest post from Marissa Geannette, who writes over on her blog, The Unbillable Life. I discovered Marissa’s blog earlier this year and found her story to be very relatable. Like me, Marissa is also a former Biglaw attorney that made the jump to self-employment, moving off the clear, career path in […]

There’s Treasure Everywhere!
One of my favorite comic strips of all time is Calvin and Hobbes, the story of a precocious 6-year old kid and his stuffed animal tiger – seen as a stuffed tiger to everyone else, but very much alive when viewed through Calvin’s eyes. It’s a comic that really spoke to me from the moment […]

You’ve Paid Off Your Debt, Now How Do You Invest?
When I paid off my student loans back in 2016, I found myself with a lot of cash that I could suddenly start investing with. Paying off debt is hard, but for the most part, the actual act of paying off debt doesn’t require a lot of knowledge. There’s no secret to paying off debt […]
Graduating College Early – That’s Probably What I Should Have Done

Shipt Shopper App: My Grocery Delivery Side Hustle
With a decent number of Shipt deliveries under my belt, I thought it’d make sense for me to go over what my experience as a Shipt Shopper has been like, how I’ve made it work for me, and whether it’s something that you could incorporate into your own life.
Create Your Own FI
Earlier this month, I gave a presentation at CampFI – Midwest that I thought might be worth sharing here in a written format. I titled the talk “Create Your Own FI” and the idea was one that I’ve been thinking about for a while – that financial independence (FI) isn’t something that we necessarily have […]
Dollar-Cost Averaging By Necessity
There’s an interesting thing that happens when you stop paying attention to what the market is doing . . . nothing. I gave up on following market news a while ago because, frankly, it made me way too angry. Every article would always be the same – some guy predicting a big market crash for […]
