CAREER + MONEY THINGS

Don’t be tacky customers, people. (Like my cousin who stapled her business card to a wedding card for us, instead of say, signing it!)

Practical Parsimony and stories from the Depression. My parents were raised after the Depression but they grew up in a third world country so our stories of growing up impoverished were about things like how they made money as kids, or what life on a farm and in the countryside was like. My momma side hustled long before it was popular 🙂

Hattip to Cloud for this link on women, success, and the tech world right now.
