I’m often met with what I can only say is “bemusement” when fellow attorneys see me biking to get from place to place. Even after 7 months at my new job, the executive director of my organization still asks me every time he sees me whether I biked into work that day. Admittedly, biking is […]
My Story
Monetize Your Life And Get Paid To Live
Over the past two years or so, I’ve earned a little over $30,000 doing a bunch of interesting side hustles. The question I often get is how I find the time to do all of these things. For most people, the ability to earn extra money comes down to time – most people work all […]
Over 600,000 Miles Earned In One Year – A Recap Of My First Year of Travel Hacking
Editors Note: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here. I sometimes find it hard to believe that just a year ago, I only had two credit cards to my name – a Citi Forward Card that I got in 2006 during my sophomore year of college, and a Target […]
A Look Back At My Favorite Financial Panther Posts of 2017
It’s New Year’s Eve as I write this and my house is packed with little kids and family, which, as you can imagine, has made it a little difficult for me to sit down and get some good, in-depth writing down. Still, I wanted to get one last post in before the year comes to an […]
The Dream of Barista FIRE
The best job that I ever had was at a small, public golf course by my house. It was a pretty crappy golf course – poorly maintained, no facilities beyond a small putting green and an old pro shop, and a stupidly difficult back nine where I lost hundreds of golf balls. I worked at […]
No Dad, I Didn’t Get Fired
The other day, I was talking with my dad and we got to talking about my new job. I told him how I was doing – I liked it, I was way less stressed and anxious, and overall, the new job seemed like a better fit for me and my personality. Yes, it was another […]

FinancialPanther.co Is Now FinancialPanther.com (Finally!)
I’ve been really pumped since I got back from FinCon. Not only did I learn some great stuff and get to connect with some amazing people, but going to FinCon also motivated me to do some things on this blog that I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. If you’re a regular reader, you’ve probably […]
I’m Switching To A Non-Traditional Legal Career
I started a new job a few weeks ago. When it comes to my legal career, I did everything pretty much by the book. I went to a good law school, graduated near the top of my class, served as an editor on my school’s law review, snagged a biglaw summer associate position during OCI […]
Yes, You Can Bike To Work
One of the nice things about starting my new job (don’t worry, more to come on this in a future post) is that I’ve been able to cut my bike commute down to a really comfortable distance. What was once an 8-mile, 45-minute bike ride to work has now been reduced to a 3-mile, 15-minute […]
