Helping teachers master their money
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=C8yTBebo5-s Hey everyone!Not gonna lie, the past week of pre-service (teacher work week before school starts) was so frustrating each and every day. Other than content I had already created and scheduled, I didn't post anything or even really think about TTM. Usually pre-service is a time of nervous excitement, but this year's was full [...]
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 [...]
https://youtu.be/Rhseeqcpup0 During my first summer off, and for the first time since I started tracking my net worth consistently, my net worth actually decreased from last month. All things considered, this was an expected part of my financial plan. I knew taking the summer off would lead to short-term losses. Still, I'm slightly surprised to [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOsBU3xeJtI As the end of the month approaches, it's once again time to take stock of all of my savings and investment accounts to add up my latest net worth. It feels weird, still, putting out this content while the world, and especially my country, is still being deeply affected by a pandemic that has [...]
While I've been quiet about my numbers on the blog for a while, I've been updating my YouTube consistently on a weekly basis, and I want to catch all of you up in writing now 🙂 Let's start with my net worth for May 2020-- here are the latest totals of each of my accounts: [...]
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 (almost) December! The holidays are nearly here and I am so, so excited for all of it-- especially for what 2020 has to bring! But before I get too ahead of myself in typical Rachel fashion, I'm taking a moment to take stock of my net worth. The Financial Diet (a favorite website of [...]
Photo by Alejandro Escamilla via Unplash.com I'm nervous. I haven't done a net worth update since April, but I did check my net worth again in September, and I wasn't happy. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it ended up being just a little higher than the April net worth I tracked. It made sense, [...]
Photo by Isaac Smith via Unsplash.com Hey Team, I'm excited for this one. You may have noticed that I didn't write a net worth update for February or March, but you'll be surprised to hear that I didn't check my net worth privately, either. This number will be just as much as a surprise to [...]
