• Month End: November Snapshot

  At the end of November, I look back on the days I used to use online pay day loans to either make it to pay day or for spending. Interestingly enough, the online pay lender I used was featured on the show Dirty Money on Netflix. Starting the process of Christmas shopping, I feel thankful […]

• Month End: September Snapshot

  At the end of September, I am now 42…… I never imagined being married with such a sweet and smart child. I never imagined going through the financial problems that I have been through, nor could I imagine my true-life story. I am still here. I’m thankful for my friendships, relationships, life experiences, and the […]

• Month End: February Snapshot

• Month End: March Snapshot

  At the end of March, I could’ve never seen the COVID-19 pandemic coming. No one in the banking industry, no one in our country, and no one in the world could have predicted the impact of this virus. Although many may disagree with me, it is necessary to shut down pieces of the economy to […]
