To be transparent, it has been 2 years since I’ve graduated law school and although many things have changed since then (not to mention of course, 2020’s pandemic), I think it would be a great idea to create a few short and sweet posts about my law school experience and tips that I think would […]
To compliment my debt diary I think it would be cool to do a what I bought this month to document my seemingly out of control spending (HELP). As much as I try to be frugal, I find that this quarantine has really aggravated my past poor shopping habits. I have shopped more during the […]
From a young age, I have always enjoyed writing and reading. Its been a form of expression and release and at times even cathartic. I love tracking and recording things whether it be my weight, things I did on a particular day or even keeping an agenda. I have listened to a number of podcasts […]
This pandemic has really aggravated the shopaholic inside of me that I have suppressed for so long. I use to spend nearly every weekend at the mall and since the malls shut down in March I have been buying clothes like crazy online (and returning just as much). The funny thing is that now that […]

For anyone that has a Scotiabank student loan and graduated in 2019, this is now the time that our 12 month grace periods are running out and the loans are becoming payable. For those of us that love to budget and hate debt – this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. This is […]

This time last year I had just been called to the bar, I was starting a new job (spoiler alert I’ve been here for a whole year) and I 100% did not know what I was doing and had mad anxiety about being fired. A year later, I can’t say that much has changed. Looking […]
