In the world of Save. Spend. Splurge.

Posted on October 31, 2015

What I liked this week:

This coat is just divine. The colour, the look *swoon* Me wanty. Me wanty badly.
Your 20s are for saving, so don’t be an idiot and believe this tripe. Read this excellent article instead for all the REAL actual facts, numbers & truths about why you should save when you’re young.
How to dress French via Carine Roitfeld (H/T to Sense!)
THIS. A thousand times THIS, as a woman in STEM. It’s an excellent letter to the Editor.
Every conversation between a Parent & 4-Year Old. SERIOUSLY. I think Baby Bun is doing this to me, but with squeaks, squeals & cries in place of words. Parents, read it. You’ll cry with laughter through your bitter tears. H/T to Sarah!
We Millennials aren’t all selfish pigs. Love this.
Along the same lines of parenting, I really found this article on why Baby Bun is a little monster (not the exact title, mind you), VERY enlightening.

I really love this Campbell’s soup commercial; I don’t buy or eat Campbell’s soup (BPA in the lining of the cans), but this was just too cute.

Sherry of Save. Spend. Splurge.

Millionaire at 36 after getting out of $60K of student debt in 18 months, a little over a decade earlier, using TheBudgetingTool.com. Since then, I have paid my $600K home in cash (my half was $300K), my $180K casr in cash, worked 50% of my career (taking 1-2 year breaks), and quadrupled my income within 2 years of graduating, going from $65K to $260K with an average lifetime savings rate of 50%. I could retire today if I wanted, but love my work-life balance as a freelancing consultant in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). I am all about balance - between time and money, and also enjoying my money. I also post daily on Instagram @saverspender.
