Helping teachers master their money
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-O9dWuZqGY&feature=youtu.be Hey everyone! I'm happy to share that I finally made a highly-requested video: a tour of my apartment. I love watching these kinds of videos-- it's so cool to take a peek into someone else's space and see how they live, so I'm excited to share a glimpse of my lifestyle with all of [...]
When it comes to the decluttering aspect of minimalism, I'm a pro. I have learned, over time, to let things go when they no longer serve my life. But this is actually the easy level of practicing minimalism; it's much harder, I've found, to learn to not take in new things. The dopamine hit of [...]
Happy Monday, everyone! My latest video was a request to go through each and every item of clothing I own, so you can see what goes into a minimalist wardrobe. I feel obligated to always add the disclaimer that being a minimalist doesn't mean keeping a certain number of pieces of clothing, but rather that [...]

This means budgetting for a security deposit, first month's rent, moving fees, getting my plates and license changed (since I'll be moving from Maryland to DC), parking, furniture, and probably some other hidden costs.

Truthfully, I'm the first person [...]
Photo by Christian Koch via Unsplash.com Hey Team, Lately, I've been feeling mentally stuck with my budget and my money. I'm out of debt and therefore more financially free than ever, but I find myself unable to shake the feeling that I am not being a good steward of my finances. This came up very [...]
Photo Credit: KonMari Media Inc. I have never read Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. This didn't stop me from binge-watching the show, as I'm a sucker for decluttering videos. I liked the positive tone of the show and, of course, loved how Marie's personality brought life to her ideas. Once I [...]
Photo by Daniel Monteiro via Unsplash.com A few weeks back, there was a day when I left work hours after my duty day ended. I was physically exhausted and emotionally drained, and still facing a long to-do list for the upcoming day. My drive home took 20 minutes longer than usual because the traffic is [...]
Photo by Breno Asis via Unsplash.com Some facts: my lease ends on June 30th, 2019. I won't be working by this point (I'm a teacher), but I will have some money saved to last me throughout the summer. As it stands, I only live about 15-20 minutes from my parents' home. I don't think I [...]
