It's been another week since I wrote about my thoughts after the events of January 6th when a deadly breach of the US Capitol building occurred, and days since President Trump was impeached for the second time - a first for a United States President. The Senate is currently not planning to reconvene until after…
Chasing Financial Independence as a Single Income Family of 5
While there continue to be more women writing about personal finance, the mainstream narrative is still that it is mostly men pursuing financial independence. I have a group of more than 10,000 women actively talking about money together on Facebook though, so I know well that that isn't the case. In order to continue one…
The 12 Days of Women’s Personal Finance (Holiday Giveaway)
As many of you know, I run the Women's Personal Finance (Women on FIRE) group on Facebook.

After publishing that list, it was clear that beyond just sharing the women bloggers, podcasters, and authors writing about…
Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays: Week 59 Roundup

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 41)
As I recapped on Monday, I spent last weekend at Cents Positive in downtown Seattle. I had a wonderful time, as expected, and would have been happy had it lasted an extra day or two. That said, I so appreciate that the retreat is held over a weekend, as my vacation time is limited and…
Cents Positive 2019 Recap (Seattle)
The inaugural Cents Positive in Denver last year was the very first personal finance conference or event that I'd ever attended. I had gone to local meet ups and met friends that way, but an organized event is very different from an afternoon at the park or a brewery. The weekend was absolutely magical, and…

Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays: Frugal Sustainability Roundup
To mix things up this week, I ended up with a theme for these three posts today. Considering we are in the middle of climate strikes - and real discussions on how we need to take climate change seriously - it feels appropriate to curate this roundup in this way. Personal finance is a great…
