I know I’m probably going to get killed in the comments for this, but I like being conventionally attractive. It’s an easy life.

If you make $33,000 a year, the truth is, you are actually in the top 50% of wage-earners.

I’m 32 years old and my family still takes care of me. If it ever was one, it’s not a secret anymore.

It can feel gross to celebrate your success when so many people are out of work. But we need to celebrate our accomplishments. And we need to not feel bad about living the way we want to live.

And aren't you lucky to have it?
budgeting
According to the USDA, a man, woman and 6-year-old child spend $476.30 on groceries -- on the “thrifty” plan. So at $129.99, I’ll be putting my unconventional money-saving philosophies to the test.
issues
I'm a huge advocate of women talking about money -- and their salaries specifically -- loudly and publicly as a means of fighting the gender wage gap.

DIY is not always cheaper. Or better. Or sustainable. Or even very much fun.
style
I spend a TON of time (and a healthy chunk of cash, I've realized) maintaining the face I’ve chosen to present to the world.

Marry rich if you want to.

What's the difference between ME and a giant sack of donuts representing my equivalent weight? Not much, it turns out.

debt
All told, my first experience with credit was embarrassing, demoralizing, stressful, and it banged up my virgin credit something fierce. But none of it stopped me from getting another card or another and another.
money
To me, there's nothing greater than that feeling of having a full bank balance on payday and thinking up all the fun and innovative ways to get rid of it all.
money
National student loan debt is currently over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS. That doesn't even sound like a real amount of money that is possible, does it? They could call it a STOMPTILLION or a FREAKAZILLION and it would carry just as much meaning.
bargains
I get high off of bargains, from beating the system. It makes me feel self-sufficient, if not a little self-satisfied.
weddings
Unless you’ve been some sort of reclusive misanthrope for the better part of your young adulthood, you’re going to wake up on your 28th birthday neck-deep in wedding invitations.

I never dreamed I would be That Girl staying at home with her man's money footing the bill. But here I am.
