Broke Ass Financial Coaching: Should I Buy a Car or not?

I hate to brag and everything but I ride San Francisco’s public transportation system, Muni, and I flippin’ love it. I don’t even buy a fastpass because I know that I spend less on fares individually based on how much I ride.

An Edible Guide to New York

As you may noticed, I like food, a lot. I like reading about it, writing about it, looking at pretty pictures of it, and of course eating it.  So when I found a FREE monthly magazine that covers all these things, I cried a little into my bowl of chili.

Broke Ass Financial Coaching: Spending Revolution

Who said this? “We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
