I have several reasons why I do not want to be monogamous, which I will explain further into this but first let’s think about the information and history of the idea of monogamy. Monogamy is the practice or state of being married to one person at a time. The practice or state of having a sexual relationship with only one partner. Although we don’t know where it started the general idea is that lower ranking males started using the alternative strategy of pursuit of one woman, whereas, the higher ranking males either had many wives or many concubines. This in return made women feel better as they were the only ones receiving attention, love, protection and more from a suitor. In essence, this was a concept created by men to benefit men because women were not historically polygamous. Polygamy is marriage with more than one spouse. When a man is…
So, here you are in all your budgeting glory getting your adulting on but you realize there is still room to save more money to put towards your financial goals. Typically you would think this is a easy fix, save the money and do what you have to do, right? Yes, until you realize what you would have to give up to save that money… YOUR SPACE! This is my current dilemma, do I want a roommate or not. Here I am in a place where I am saving more money because I have paid something’s off but I am like hmmm, I can save more. Rent is sky rocketing every where, in Nashville cost of living went up 54.1% from 2000 to 2015. At this point I am considering getting a roommate because I can save some extra money, right? Yeah but is what I am going to save…
This post will be very brief as there is not any long drawn out explanation of what you should do. I will start by explaining why it is important. First, people are crazy these days, you don’t know if you have anyone going through your trash. You don’t want someone to know what medications you are taking because it will be easy to figure out why you are taking them. Also, your personal information is on that bottle and people could use that information for various uses. The main idea is to remove the label or mark the information out. Check out these ideas: These are some of the simple ways to dispose of the bottles. Two steps: Remove/Mark Out the label, throw or reuse the bottle.

To be truly honest with me, some characteristics I think I have, I don’t. I would like to think of myself as patient but I’m nowhere near as patient as I think. I may be patient with other people or patient in certain circumstances but I’m really not all that patient. I think this lack of patience allows me to stay in a state of disappointment. I work out and eat right, but I want changes now, knowing good and well that changes will take time. I don’t care, I want it now! So then I sit around disappointed in myself because I haven’t gotten the results I want today. It’s an ugly trait that I have to beat in order to be successful, that now mentality is slowly killing my growth. It’s amazing how one thing can change everything. That patience has been slowly preventing me from being successful.…
Here recently I decided to sign up for Samsung Pay. I am personally super excited about using it. I’m going to outline the things I like and the things I do not like but as of right now, 2 weeks into using the app, I love it. Also, I’ve read reviews on other apps and this is why I made the choice to try Samsung Pay over any other mobile payment system such as Apple Pay, Android Pay and Google Pay. Although, I haven’t tried any of the others, the biggest different between them and Samsung Pay made the call for me. Later, I will show you how to set up the app. I want to get this out of the way, so that you do not read this and it does not work on your device. Samsung Pay only works on Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, S6 Edge+, S6, S6…
I see so many people I know spending a ton of money on alkaline water. I understand the hype as to why people want alkaline water rather than regular ol’ water but don’t let the hype keep you broke. Protect your pockets. According to Underground Health, “Alkaline water helps balance the body’s pH, which tends to be acidic because of our high acid food diet, stress and exposure to environmental toxins such as smog. Alkalize your body pH from acidic to alkaline pH, because cancer and many other illnesses cannot live in alkaline environments.” When water is above a 7 on the pH scale, the water is basic, while water below a 7 is acidic. You want your water to be somewhere between 7 and 9. Pretty dope right? Yup, until it cost you anywhere from $2 to $4 a bottle. That adds up! I do not have time to…
I’m so sick of paying high ass cable bills and there is never anything on TV!! What a waste of money. Don’t get me wrong, I like to watch good movies and there are a few shows I really enjoy but most of the time the TV watches me. Something’s gotta give. I am giving away almost $150 a month to SAY I have cable. So I looked up all the ways we both can beat the box. The cable hustle ends today: The Options: There are plenty of TV episodes that air on Hulu Plus the day after airing on network TV. Hulu Plus is probably the fastest airing streaming service. For a TV watcher this is your best bet. Sling TV is owned by Dish Network, but you DON’T need to be a Dish subscriber. With Sling TV you can stream live cable TV channels, which includes channels…
If you live in Nashville and listen to most radio stations especially 101.1 The Beat you have heard a commercial or two or three for Flex Loans. Flex Loans are the worst things for your pockets fam. They may say the interest rate is only 24% but that is total bull. These loans come with more than a standard interest rate. The interest rate is capped at 24% but the daily fees that these loan sharks are allowed to charge you will take that 24% and raise you a mean 255%. That puts your interest at TWO HUNDRED AND THE SEVENTY-NINE PERCENT (279%). Yes you heard me right, 279%. That can get ugly when you can borrow as much as you want essentially. Traditional payday loans are capped at $500 and you are only able to have 3 outstanding loans at one time and you may pay back about $50…
An old friend who recently moved back to Nashille explained to me that she used to try and compare Nashville to home (California) but after moving back home she realized Nashville is a cool city. She couldn’t see it before because I was trying to compare the two but later she saw the dopeness. This made me think, Nashille IS pretty dope. With the beautiful weather on the rise, the hotline has been blinging… you know friends wanting to hang out or long lost socialites who hide during the winter. This is the time of the year that sets the standard for the summer and here we are with long lines, no parking (day or night), packed malls, and no seats in bars and night clubs. Man, how I love this time of year!! Nashville has so much to offer, I mean, I know it’s not a LA, ATL, Miami…
