• I Paid Off My Student Loan

  

  I paid off my student loan last month. I don’t have any profound advice about repaying debt. It’s all very simple. Pay it back. Be aware of your circumstances, make a plan and stick with it. I finished my masters degree in May 2012. In December 2012 I received a letter from my lender about […]

• Real Talk: Money Saving Tips

  

  I read a tweet a month or so ago from a millennial asking Generation X and Baby Boomers for financial advice.  I answered the tweet without actually answering the question.  I told her that I felt like most financial advice that I’ve seen given in the media is usually geared towards people with fairly high […]
