As of yesterday, I haven't bought myself a single piece of clothing or pair of shoes in two and a half years. I'm not sure at what point I'll eventually break the ban and buy a few things, but I'm not there yet. That said, at the point I do, I'll be looking to thrifted…
Welcome to another week of the Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays roundup. I started this series after months of debate because I wasn’t certain I wanted to up the ante and commit to publishing three posts a week.

This week was a pretty exciting one for me on a non financial note. About a month ago, I had been invited to apply to an unpaid public appointment position in my city, and I was selected as one of six to have an interview for the spot. To my complete shock, I got a…
It's been a long week. Wednesday was a 13 hour work day (including a 3.5 hour dinner), and the preparation leading up to the day meant that Monday and Tuesday were reasonably long as well. On the upside, I did get in my run to work on Wednesday, and it didn't even rain on me.…
