How this 31-year old Govt. Auditor Spends $64,000 in DC
In 2014, I moved from Tallahassee, Florida to Washington, DC. An opportunity of a lifetime awaited and I did not hesitate. Similar to the ideas in “Think and Grow Rich“, a good choice should never linger for more than 30 seconds. Making no more than $32,000 annually (before Uncle Sam’s cut) at my last position; receiving a phone call for DOUBLE WAS A NO BRAINER, NO MATTER THE ODDS. What Goes Up Cost of living increases added up quickly. Those first few months were rather rough. I was hit with setbacks: waiting on old paychecks and new paychecks, sleeping on the ground in the cold and dead of winter, without adequate heat…

Paying More Money Cutting Cable? Here’s How to Save Up to $1,000 Per Year
Less Cable is the Answer After realizing that I’m not rich yet again, I finally decided that paying Comcast Xfinity $156/month is insane for their triple-package “deal”. Last week I realized that most of my viewership goes to Youtube. The content creators are more informative than The Learning Channel (TLC). The historical breakdowns are way more relevant to the topic vs pawnshops and ice road trucking. Even Myths and Mythologies have no mention to Ancient Aliens. It’s just quality products if you subscribe to the right sources. Don’t believe me check out Rob who explains all things comic book or life, Linsay Ellis who has inciteful mini nerd rants about movies and entertainment, Tedtalks, See U in History and Mythology, the Money…

How to Beat Money Trauma. A Guide For those that Worship Money to those who Avoid Money
Stop Counting Other People’s Money. Beating The Need for Stuff and the Urge to Flaunt Last Friday, I was duped into a coffee meet-up with a financial advisor. Instead of a cold call; like some sort of supervillain, he revealed that this was a cold meetup. The betrayal was indeed real. The experience ended up burning a significant portion of my day off. I was left with two takeaways. One, always ensures that there is a firm purpose if someone wants to link up with you. If there isn’t a Return on Investment (ROI), it’s a waste of your time. Once you reach 30+, “me time” becomes a precious commodity. Secondly, always have a firm…

How to do a Financial Deep Cleaning this Spring
Spring is finally upon us. Crisp mornings. Light sweater-optional weather. Open windows and pollen everywhere. It’s time. Got to love this time of year. Once tax season ends, the real work begins. Unfortunately, you can’t get ready for this. Got to take a leap of faith in order to close out the year in success vs more of the same. Spring Cleaning!!!! There is nothing more satisfying than a deep breath of “Fabuloso” in the morning. The non-organic purple fog that clogs the judgment is intense. It’s also how you know the current generation doesn’t know how to clean; instead of using tide pods for sport, please consider Fabuloso at 8:00 am…

Black Men and the Rebirth of the Financial Role Model
Only 17% of Black men have a bachelor’s degree. We have to change that drastically. African American males, ages 16 to 64 have a lower participation rate in the labor force (67% compared to ‘all males’ 80%). It has gotten so bad that over 20% of work-eligible black men did not work for all of 2016. The usual reaction to this is, “Not me”. I’m not here for the emotional vanity so please check your unfettered femininity at home. It might not be you. This is the reality for a lot of people that you don’t run into or communicate with, on your normal work-to-home commute. The people we actively avoid on our…

Do You Know Your Financial Numbers? Because Most People are Broke.
Only one out of three Americans actually know what their monthly budget is. If this is any indication, millennials will be in for a huge surprise as they age through society. Our 20s and early 30s were a wild ride of YOLO, Views from the Six, God’s Plan, Fake Love, Best I Ever Had, 0 to 100, In My Feelings, Nice for What, and Worst Behavior. We basically lived a Drake discography. Why is Budgeting important? Personally, I fell out of love with the paycheck to paycheck living. Getting your net worth north of $0.00 is a full-time orgasmic experience. Budgeting is “Peace of Mind in a Bottle” and I’m desperately trying…
