Girls That Invest - thoughts on Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Five reasons that investing is better than a mattress stuffed with cash
Research the inflation rate of your country. Make sure your pay rise this year is above inflation.So right now in Australia, the inflation rate is at 7.3% - the highest rate in more than three decades, apparently. So that means that's the rate of how much my cash ( Read more... ) -

Not trying to look younger on purpose
Now that I’m 30 I find myself looking younger in my manner of dressing. I used to dress a lot more sophisticated than this. Now I tote around a Luna bag (Sailormoon) for cryin out loud. But can you blame a girl for only being able to wear skirts, shorts and dresses now? I never wore them before because my legs were ugly. Now they’re less ugly ( Read more... ) -
La Union's birthday gift
I was sad about turning 30 not because I was getting older, but because this, now, isn’t what I imagined 30 would be. I thought by this time I’d have everything figured out, that my concerns would be more important and all of these problems behind me.
