The Bullet List Post

You know when you have a lot of little stories in your head, but nothing is meaty enough to make a blog post? That has been me non-stop for the past two months … so instead I’ll just do bullets.

  • Eric and I went to see Gone Girl this weekend. At the end, I told Eric: “That bitch ain’t got nothing on me.” I take pride in my psychosis.
  • I am supposed to have three papers done for grad school by the end of this month. So far I have 0.
  • In my defense, I wrote four pages for one paper and then realized I had chosen the wrong answer and so I had to re-do the whole thing. I hope to have at least one done by the end of this weekend.
  • I realize that I don’t write as much about our finances anymore… it’s pretty boring to just say month after month, “hey, we’re still saving for a house and it’s going well!”
  • Eric and I have started meeting with a Certified Financial Planner. So far, it’s been amazing! Should definitely write about this. Do any of you have a financial planner?
  • Life lately has been work, school, work, school, family time, work, school…

I wish something exciting would happen to me to get me out of this blogging rut. Bloggers say having a baby offers lots of blog content…hmm, maybe we should get on that?

Just found your blog recently and love it. I’d really like to find out more about the certified financial planner! Like how you found one and how it’s helped.

I want to hear about meeting with a CFP! Especially why it would be more than 1 (or 2?) meeting…

It seems like there have been a lot of references to babies in your more recent posts. Are you getting the itch to have one? By the way did you consider the costs of having a baby when you were debating the HMO vs PPO question? I know there can be crazy differences in coverage between these two options.

I’m getting my dad to take me to see gone girl. Not sure how awkward it will be with ben’s full nudity but hey, at least it’s frugal for me. 🙂 I hear it’s good. Anyway, I’d say if nothing exciting is happening with your finances except for being on a healthy track, that’s awesome!

It’s not the nude scene I would be worried about…there are a few risque scenes (p.s. didn’t even know about his nude scene until after I saw the movie, that’s how brief it was!! I would have paid more attention if I knew there was a nude scene)

Having a baby might get you out of a rut, but it will also take your financial goals in a new direction. Or at least, that’s what I’m finding. I’m 31 weeks pregnant and suddenly find myself preparing to move in 3 weeks into a new house. That was not the plan at the beginning of the year!

The good thing is that you have so much previous blog content, that newer readers like me have plenty to comb through! I was looking at some of your old posts, like the 5-year plan for saving up for a house. Lots of great info there!! thanks for all your blog love 🙂

I feel that same rut. I have had such writer’s block. Nothing seems significant to write about.

Is 24, The Rut Year? | Savvy Financial Latina October 8, 2014 - 8:05 pm

[…] Everybody stop what you are doing now! Do you remember what your 24th year on this earth felt like? Please tell me. Because so far, 24 is pretty solidly stable. Nothing is wrong with stable except that stable is boring to write about. Maybe I’m just going through a blogging rut? I’m pulling an Erika @ Newlyweds on A Budget and using bullets to summarize my thoughts. Check out her post – The Bullet List Post. […]
