Aziz Ansari is undoubtedly my favorite comedian. I’m downloading his new book, Modern Romance, once I’m finished with my current read: Cold Black Earth, which was downloaded for free with our Amazon Prime account (it’s not good, but I’m halfway through and feel like I should stick with it). Read some of Ansari’s romantic insights on the Tory Burch blog.

WEAR

Re: Shopping bans and living on 51% of income.. a lot of us in the PF world do that. 🙂 … For instance, I make a lot of money, and live on 16% of my income. When I don’t work, I chill out.
It’s actually somewhat common in our personal finance circles and then we realize how weird we are to be doing that.
If you’re interested, there are lots of blogs out there talking about money who do that. I can recommend a few if you want! (Mine included lol..)
Wow, it would be amazing to live on only 51% of my income! Unfortunately that’s not really possible on my grad student salary, haha. I definitely want to try at least a month-long shopping ban, though, sometime… She is so inspiring!
OMG this women is amazing, I’m on the shopping bandwagon right now and she’s giving me ideas.
