The Value of Being There

  • October 21

I have a sweet friend who got hitched two weeks ago in a charming and romantic old farmhouse and barn just outside Leiper’s Fork, TN. Leiper’s Fork is a rural village located about an hour south of Nashville along the Natchez Trace Parkway, which always is a lovely drive, especially in the fall. It was […]

The First Step Toward Financial Freedom Is Deciding You Have Enough

  • October 15

Before I began my financial transformation, I was regularly living above my means. This manifested itself in several ways including pricey vacations, sky-high restaurant bills, and fancy new furniture. The most financially devastating, however, was my designer clothing habit. I thought very little of dropping $300 on a new handbag or splurging on a new […]

Seeking Mindfulness at Work

  • October 9

When I shared with my sister that I was beginning a mindfulness and meditation class through work, I could practically hear an eye-roll groan through her text response of “…really?” In fairness, she works for a Bay Area based psychology book publishing company and has hear the word “mindfulness” tossed around in meetings more times […]

How Losing Weight Is Like Saving For Your Future

  • October 6

I recently cashed in an Amazon gift card and treated myself to a shiny new digital scale to help track my weight loss. I was excited when it arrived at our house on Thursday, but felt nervous when the time came to weigh in. I removed the device from its cardboard box and synced it […]

My Third Net Worth Overshare

  • September 30

Fall has quietly sailed into Nashville, unloading crisp cooler nights, and reminding us that winter is on the horizon. For now, I’d rather enjoy the smell of campfires and pie spices, the sounds of crispy leaves beneath my boots on the neighborhood sidewalks, and the transition back to hot coffee mornings. Mmmmm, fall. This quarter’s […]

My Dividend Portfolio is Working Full-Time Even When I’m Not

  • September 26

I’m seriously diggin’ my new part-time lifestyle. As many of you know, I quit my job last month and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I snagged a sweet part-time gig after a brief stint of unemployment. And I have spent the rest of my time doing things like watching The Blues Brothers on […]

Cashville Skyline (Kate) Does FinCon14

  • September 23

I had forgotten how much of a sensory overload the French Quarter can be. Everything about New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood screams excess – colorful walls punctuated with ornately decorated ironwork balconies, orders of fluffy beignets with heaping piles of powdered sugar, the ability to drink in the streets, massive po’ boy sandwiches overflowing with fried […]

#FinCon14: Experiencing New Orleans on the Cheap

  • September 15

I thought that my sister was insane when she left college at eighteen to follow some dude in a band to New Orleans. My sense of adventure and travel experience was underdeveloped at twenty years old, so it was hard for me to understand the appeal of the dirty cajun city, especially after Hurricane Katrina […]

The Career Pivot: Taking a Step Back To Make a Leap Forward

  • September 1

Despite the unsteady job market, there are a variety of reasons why people decide they want to take the plunge into a career change. For me, the decision was simple – I was barreling down an unsustainable path with a burning desire to explore other opportunities. Many colleagues, friends, and family members were shocked to […]

Why Is Talking About Money The Last Taboo?

  • August 25

I’ve been exposed to income inequality for as far back as I can remember. I grew up in a small historic town that had only been a desirable place to live since the 1980s. Prior to that, the center of this once prosperous shipbuilding town had fallen into disrepair. During the 1950s and 1960s, the […]
