Helping teachers master their money
https://youtu.be/2ciW42LAju8 Happy February, reader! In keeping with my plan to give you 12 money resolutions, one for each month of 2021, it’s time to get your goal for this month. Last month, you made your first budget. If you weren’t following along and that time, it’s actually the perfect time to catch up, because your [...]
https://youtu.be/Dv7FzrzroS8 Most months don't bring very much financial anxiety for me anymore. I've grown a lot in this way: when I started this website, my anxiety seemed to creep into every post. Now, I don't often worry about money like I used to (other than, for instance, during the start of a global pandemic). September [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAx9UL7P0gE&feature=youtu.be Hey everyone! August is here and so also is the second month of me living off of my savings for the summer. This will be a quick blog post, since the budget is much the same as it was for July-- here are the numbers: The notable changes for this month are that my [...]
Hey everybody! Interrupting our regularly-scheduled money talk posts to talk about my latest project: I finally started a YouTube channel called Teachers Talk Money. You can find it here.

It's that magical time of year again. And yet again, I did not take the advice of personal finance experts who say to adjust your tax withholdings in order to not get a refund. Don't misunderstand me, they are right. You should adjust your withholdings, because it's better to have your own money month-to-month instead [...]
I'm excited to show you guys my progress this month, but not because it's a huge increase. In fact, I'm actually excited because I DIDN'T have amazing growth-- and it's really important to know that this is the reality sometimes. This is the slowest month I've had since I started tracking again back in September, [...]
Happy 2020 everyone! So many exciting things are happening this month. I'm starting my second semester of grad school, a new semester of teaching (our classes change half way through the year, so I get new students!), and perhaps most excitingly, I'm beginning a new online course!!! I haven't shared about this here yet, but [...]
You guys, having my blog as a written account of my money for the past year is so crazy. I was looking back through my old posts, and I can't believe how much my life has changed, from what I actually earn and spend to my beliefs and values with money. I thought it'd be [...]
2020 is almost here-- and I haven't been so excited for a new year in a really long time. I don't know what it is, but I've always found that setting resolutions and goals for the year ahead felt arbitrary and not particularly motivating for me. But, at the same time, my life has always [...]
