I Could Save More…But I Don’t Want To

August 5, 2019 by Penny 23 Comments
The Butter is Melting Already

In news that should shock absolutely no one, we don’t calculate our savings rate officially. Just like we don’t track our net worth in a formal capacity…or have a projected FI/FIRE number. And we still have cable. Basically, someone should just come take my money blog away. Even without a formal savings rate calculation, I … [Read more…]

Why Money is Always More than a Math Problem

November 28, 2018 by Penny 29 Comments
Personal Finance More than Math

“I would love to make more money.” It’s not an uncommon sentiment. In fact, social media and real life conversations are equally dotted with people wishing for more. Sometimes, it’s a passing daydream or even a whimsical song. But a lot of times, it’s a real request. A true want. Or even an absolute need. … [Read more…]

The Audacity of Dreaming Small

January 25, 2017 by Penny 39 Comments

Do what sets your soul on fire. Set your sights higher. Today, everything is scaleable. And not just slightly; I’m talking seriously scalable. Why 10x something when you can 100x it? And in a world full of Mark Zuckerbergs and Tim Ferrisses, I get it. It’s true that you miss 100% of the shots you … [Read more…]

Is $100 a Big Deal?

October 17, 2016 by Penny 77 Comments

Tim Ferriss. He’s out of touch. If you somehow missed it, there was this one time when he spitballed the fact that people have $5000 in disposable income to spend each month on his podcast. No, dude, they don’t. But he’s not the only person who might be out of touch with money. Last week, … [Read more…]

The $5000 Tim Ferriss Math Problem

August 31, 2016 by Penny 57 Comments

Disposable income. The amount of money someone could spend on voluntary or non-essential costs. You know, the money that’s leftover after you’ve paid taxes, paid your bills, and paid yourself. In our house, we think of it as fun money. My grandma loved to call it her mad money. Whatever it’s called, it’s money that … [Read more…]

The Privilege of Pretending

February 24, 2016 by Penny 35 Comments

My heart started to hammer as I unloaded my grocery cart items onto the conveyer belt and I started to mentally run the numbers. We might not make it under our $200 grocery budget for the month. How could this be? What was different? Did I buy too much fresh produce? Should I put something … [Read more…]
