On Tuesday my friend and I attended the Rally for Girls Who Code in Union Square. It was a great experience listening to all the speakers, and I left feeling so inspired and motivated! As my niece Jade put it, they gave us these nice blue napkins to show our support for girls in tech….
I wrote down every purchase I made for a week. Here’s what I learned about myself.
Some of you may know that I moved recently and that I was in the middle of taking a few summer classes too. I was spending money like crazy on little things here and there (If you’ve ever moved, you know what it’s like!), and it was driving me nuts seeing my bank balance slowly…

Graduation, Family Time, and New Beginnings
Hello again! June has been such a whirlwind of emotions and changes in our lives that I’ve barely had time to stop and think.

Make money from mobile apps
I make money from mobile apps on my smart phone, even though it’s just a little bit of extra fun money, but I bet you can turn some of these apps into a real part-time gig. Below are some of my favorite apps for side hustling. Two of them I haven’t personally used ( I…
