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 […]
