December 2022 in review: Money + Life
Ahhhhh remember that time I thought I was going to be updating this monthly?! Lulz. Anywho, time to put the update together. I truly wish I was better at this (and maybe I should use Quicken / a better tool than Personal Capital but then again who am I kidding). Some guesses on how the […]

This will be interesting to…nobody. But it’s important to me, so I’m […]

Hello? Is anyone there?
Filed under: Taboo topics we do not talk about #money I wish more people talked openly about money, so I thought I’d start writing about it. Salaam, I’m H, the almost thirty something living in the DMV (close enough to DC for rent to be stupid expensive, far enough to have excellent access to ethnic […]
