Hello dearest reader, Today I wanted to write a little note on something I’ve been struggling with lately: lifestyle creep.

6 things I do everyday
Hi friends! It’s been a minute. There’s been a pretty big life event since my last post; I changed jobs! Since graduating from university, I’ve only been with one firm, and while I did move laterally within the firm to a different line of service at one point, I was in my comfort zone when… Continue reading 6 things I do everyday
I got my apartment professionally cleaned
Hey friends! Today I wanted to write a commentary piece about something I did a few months ago. Or rather, didn’t do – clean my apartment! Cleaning the apartment has always been one of my least favourite things to do. Vacuuming once in a while and throwing out the trash, I can handle. But cleaning… Continue reading I got my apartment professionally cleaned

the types of investment accounts i use
Hello, my friends. This month, I write to you from a COVID isolation hotel. I travelled to visit my grandparents, tested positive the next day, and had to quarantine.
