She Doesn’t Want a Mortgage

The best landlords I ever had didn’t care much about the money.  The husband and wife had lived in the same house for 35 years, only the third owners since the place was built in 1935, and they rented out the stand-alone guest cabin on their property every winter because they believed in giving us Keep Reading

Last time I moved to France, I sold my car and spent the $3,000 on all my “landing expenses”: flight; furnishings; first, last, and deposit.  I could have done it on less, but it certainly convinced the landlord more quickly when he showed me the room and I just held out a wad of 50 Keep Reading

After almost a year and many canceled lunch dates, I finally made it to see my childhood best friend’s office.  He showed me around and introduced me to his colleagues, and then we walked out onto the rush of Boylston Street to a place he likes to go for lunch. Once we’d placed our order Keep Reading

In the dream, she was scolding me: “You’re spending more than twice your income every month!” I could see the laptop on the table with my bank accounts on the screen. “But Grandma!” I insisted, “Look at the numbers, that can’t possibly be true!”  I was getting upset.  I hated to be accused of financial Keep Reading

To start, it’s important you know that I’m not the type of person who dreamt about her perfect wedding. Quite the contrary, I never wanted one in the first place. Don’t get it twisted, I want to marry my partner. Marriage and weddings are not the same things. Weddings always seemed like such an over-the-top Keep Reading

Erin Lowry

In 1989 storm ripped through Houston, Texas just two weeks before my birth, which took down a tree in my parents’ backyard. That tree fell right through the roof and into my nursery. Had I been born just a little early, I may not have survived my first month of life. That’s not the kind Keep Reading

The Cash Diet is the ultimate financial reset program. Consider it the juice diet of the financial world. It’s not entirely sustainable over the long-term, but it really helps you focus and recalibrate in the moment. For those who say, “I always spend more when I just have cash in my wallet.” Think of it Keep Reading

Ah, Chicago. The Windy City. Home to the Cubs, White Sox, da Bears – and a whole lot of quirks if you’re looking to rent an apartment there. I recently sold my condo and switched back to being a renter for the first time since I moved to Chicago. The entire process was, to say Keep Reading

Another Millennial Wedding Story

Jamie Burgess

The wedding was pot luck, which didn’t have to be a bad thing.  We all love and hope for an open bar, but of course I understand that celebrating a wedding is about more than the pomp of the party. I showed up in the afternoon after a five-hour drive, a little sweaty and exhausted, Keep Reading
