Here’s to Strong Women: The End of the Damsel in Financial Distress

April 30, 2018 by Penny 114 Comments

It started at FinCon. Attendees were very generously gifted copies of The Automatic Millionaire. Unfamiliar with the title but well versed in the Latte Factor, I quickly flipped open the book and scanned the accolades that often fill the first few pages. That’s when I saw it. Smart Women Finish Rich.

Dave Ramsey, Trolls, and Going Off-Brand

August 28, 2017 by Penny 48 Comments

I lost my voice. Not in the sense that makes my students celebrate. I lost my voice in the sense that for a long time, I wanted nothing more than to quit blogging. If I’m being downright honest, I didn’t lose my voice, so much as I allowed myself to be silenced. While I wrestled … [Read more…]

Actually, You Need a Credit Score

July 20, 2016 by Penny 14 Comments

Last month, The Minimalists did a podcast on debt. That podcast led to a profusion of tweets about the drawbacks of credit scores.

March 9, 2016 by Penny 18 Comments

When my grandma was alive, one of her favorite things to do was to marvel at the cost of everything in the grocery store. We’d scoot up and down the aisles, and she’d rattle off the cost of a loaf of bread, a sack of sugar, or a pound of butter from her Depression-era childhood. … [Read more…]

October 15, 2015 by Penny 30 Comments

One of the most fascinating aspects of personal finance is the fact that it is comprised of individual stories, goals, wisdom, and opinions. I have read certain bloggers state unequivocally that if you have not experienced debt, your authenticity as a personal finance blogger is questionable at best.
