Helping teachers master their money
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 [...]
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 [...]
It's been a while since I've posted an educational deep-dive on a topic, and this one is long overdue. When the average person thinks about investing, visions of day trading individual stocks and risking their money fill their mind-- this was legitimately what I thought investing was a few short years ago, because it's the [...]
July is the first month where I'll be completely supporting myself with savings, and I'm so excited. I've worked a full-time job every summer starting at age 17, always having to turn down travel opportunities and be stressed about any vacation I did decide to take; always working so consistently that scheduling much needed doctors [...]

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: [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDT6OHsPpNs Last year, Brian and I decided we would get a dog in 2020. We expected to wait until summer, when he and I were both off work. Then, my school closed in March and we were both suddenly at home constantly, bored, and anxious dealing with a pandemic, making it the perfect time to [...]
You may have noticed that I temporarily discontinued my regularly-scheduled posts on my blog and Instagram. Instead of creating content, I have been focused processing, sharing, protesting, and educating myself and others on the racism and police brutality that has been plaguing our country for hundreds of years before COVID-19 had its name. I felt [...]
Despite it being a typical topic of conversation among me and my friends, I don't think I've ever written a full blog post about sustainable, ethical fashion consumption. I've been decreasing my fast fashion consumption ever since I began minimalism in 2017 (I think?), but this year, I made the commitment to myself to purchase [...]
