After freaking out a bit & doing some research, I calmed down again. Since losing my job, I have been working on the easeyourfinancialpayne Instagram usually daily, as wellContinue reading “October 2021 Financial Update:”
Your Productivity ≠Your Worth:
I had a conversation the other day that led to some very interesting realizations: I equate my value as a person to how much I accomplish in a day. I also only consider days a “good day” when I get a lot completed. When I don’t get a lot done, I feel guilty and shameful.Continue reading “Your Productivity ≠Your Worth:”
The Dumbest Purchases We Have Made:

How to Retire in Your 20s -No Gimmicks or Inheritance.
Yes, you read that right. Something amazing happened the other day, the authors of Quit Like a Millionaire and the blog Millennial Revolution decided to do my reader case & promote my blog. I sent our financial situation to them 2+ months ago and honestly totally forgot about it. I just went to their blogContinue reading “How to Retire in Your 20s -No Gimmicks or Inheritance.”
Grief, Ego, and Principles
“Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.” -Arthur Schopenhauer. I cannot express this sentiment in better words. When you lose something, or particularly, someone, that is exceedingly important, an extreme paradigm shift occurs, rather rapidly. Which can be excruciating, but as Carl Jung said, “There is no coming to consciousnessContinue reading “Grief, Ego, and Principles”
