We all get mad right? I’m a Scorpio and I can promise you that I can get insanely mad when things seem unfair. I should have been a superhero. When justice is messed with I loose my shit. (Still trying to figure out my power though. Eating cheese?) I even get so mad that I’ll have fake fights in my head with the perpetrator that get widely out of context and always end in them doing something crazy mean…
Anxiety at tax time is common, but millennials feel it more than others. Millennials are the age group most worried about filing their taxes, according to a recent NerdWallet survey conducted by Harris Poll. Factoring in student loan debt can be especially confusing. “You’d be surprised how many people out there don’t even think that’s relevant for their tax return,” says Eric Schaefer, a financial advisor at Evermay Wealth Management in Arlington, Virginia. Here are three ways student loan debt…
My Credit Score Is 600 — Is That Bad? If your credit score is 600, things could be worse. After all, scores start at 300. But things could also be a lot better. Scores lower than 630 are considered poor, so you might be denied for credit cards and loans or pay high interest rates for the ones you do receive. A low credit score signals to lenders that you’re more likely to default on your debts. A little more than 10% of credit…
Why Personal Finance Classes Should Be Taught in College By Brad Sherman Learn more about Brad on NerdWallet’s Ask An Advisor My friends and I have begun looking back nostalgically on our college years, and whenever we get together there is a common theme to the conversations that holds true whether I’m speaking with liberal arts majors or those who studied corporate finance: While we all know that E = mc2 and maybe even know a fair amount about Einstein’s theory, most…
Full disclosure, my fiance has been foam rolling for years and I’ve always secretly judged him as a fool. We would often go work out together and while I’d be killing my ass on the treadmill he’d be rolling his ass out on the floor. In my head I was like “ummmmmmm excuse me this is NOT what the gym is for biiiiiiiitch”. But I was years behind the times. It wasn’t until we moved in together (ok a year…

Etiquette, a language of mutual respect between all of us. I hate to say it but I’m often so disappointed in the way we disregard our manners. THEY MATTER! They matter especially during times when there is anger in the air and we all need to be reminded that strangers are not all Disney witches waiting to hand out poisoned apples. (But fo real don’t eat the black ones! Or the shitty Macintosh. Honeycrisp is where IT IS AT MAH…
Anyone else been insanely inspired by the women’s march last weekend? This isn’t going to get political, although if I’m being honest I would die to see any Muppet character in the White House. Can you imagine the Swedish Chef running shit?!?! Seriously, all the images of people lifting each other up was such a breath of fresh air. Yes it was an important moment to put light on human rights, but what happens when all the signs get…

Happy almost New Year party people!!! While resolutions are fun and invigorating to get behind a new habit, perhaps this year think about the things that aren’t so visible on the outside but on the inside. Often that’s where the true life happiness secrets lie. BE KIND TO YOURSELF. It sounds so simple but we are the worst at it. Cut the negativity and love yourself. Anytime you begin to have a bad thought, replace it with…
