How Long is this Bear Market Going to Last and Other Valid Reasons Why I Can’t Go for A Run.

In lieu of resolutions and all things ‘bettering yourself’ (bleh), I have seen many go-getters sprinting down the seawall like their life depends on it. Good for them, I guess. My boyfriend tells me that running is a good way to ‘clear your head’ and is ‘easy once you get going’. I’d like to formally…

New Year, Same Me.

New Year’s resolutions are those special little promises you make to be less like yourself and more like other, better people. Against the odds, we keep telling ourselves that we can lose 10 pounds, adopt a treadmill habit, and actually read Anna Karenina (to make up for that photo you posted on Instagram where you…

Investor Education: All I want for Christmas is DNR Cryptocurrency

A friend of mine showed up on my doorstep last week – hair wet, phone dead, car towed. It was a war scene if I’d ever seen one. As we ushered her in and waited for her phone to charge, we began talking about men. It is of note that despite what they show in…

Top 7 Tips for the First Time Investor

I think academic brain power is wasted on the young. Allow me to explain. Because I have chosen a profession that is essentially just committing to doing homework on a deadline forever, I think back in total awe about how prolifically studious I was as a high-schooler and my ability to read and retain multiple…

We’re In Our Nepo Baby Era and It’s Terrible

My day was going fine – coffee was hot, snow made things still, the barista smiled at me. I had no real complaints, which is rare for me. And then I came across Brooklyn Beckham’s “photography book”. Can you fathom approaching a publisher with a photography book that contains the caption “so hard to photograph…

Exchange Rates and Other Romantic Things

I am writing this from New York, New York and after several passes at that sentence, I still don’t know how to make it not sound pretentious. No matter, I’ve decided the best course of action is to lean in so I am currently sitting in a miniature library in Brooklyn, sipping an americano, and…

“I like literally can’t handle a recession right now”

Shalom friends! Daylight savings is in full swing, and with it took any semblance of my adequate mental health. (Whoever deemed it appropriate to be plunged into darkness by 4:30pm should be arrested). And to continue harping on bad things, this past week I’ve been hearing adorable little murmurings of phrases such as: “Meta is…

To Invest or Not to Invest: Real Estate vs. Stocks

The month of November is nothing if not mildly boring. The hype of Halloween and excuse to sexualize inanimate objects and mundane professions is over. “Pumpkin spice latte season” is in full swing and all the things that follow (i.e., scarfs, Taylor Swift songs, emotional moments looking out the window, “something about how autumn teaches…

Corporate America is Cancelling Kanye.

A particularly unlikeable public figure has metaphorically snatched the mic, yet again. Yes, I’m talking about Kanye West. West is also known as (for my age 50+ readers) “Yeezy”, and for short, “Ye” (a self-proclaimed nickname derived from Jesus). Kanye began using this nickname to position himself as a God of Rap. He has since…

All Things Emergency Funds

I’m thinking of re-cutting bangs and no, this doesn’t mean I’m having a crisis. For whatever reason, the act of cutting the front pieces of your hair shorter than the rest of your hair has become inextricably linked to the notion of emotional catastrophe. You got fired from your job? Bangs. You went through a…
