Crypto Journey
I began a journey this path month into the strange and confusing world of cryptocurrency. I am a disabled Army veteran and I survive on my once a month check to get me by. I am getting tired of being completely broke by the end of every month, so I made a hard choice this last month to branch out into an unknown world. Unknown to me at least.

Hiding in Plain Sight
As a young "millennial" who just entered the work force, a big trend I see is people my age changing their name on various social media platforms. The main purpose behind this is to make it more difficult to be found when people (let's call them "potential employers") search for them. It spans from changing your surname to your middle name on Facebook, to creating "Finsta" accounts to showcase your artistic or foodie nature. I believe in self-expression, but to me when you have to create a fake alias or screen who can see your content, it means one of two things: You are afraid to be judged for it, or you know it is inappropriate to post on the internet. In the case of the former, you are censoring your own self-expression and limiting your audience. In the case of the latter, you probably just shouldn't post it.

Out-Tweet the Void
The biggest step of my transition from awkward young human to confident person was to learn when to stop trying to say something. To remain silent.

Cell Phone Etiquette!!!
Will somebody please tell me something? What in the world is wrong with some people? When I was a lad no bigger than a banana, they had this extraordinary device called a telephone at home. It was nice and, like me, it only came in black. As I grew older (and maybe dumber), I discovered that these devices were also outside scattered around in various neighborhoods. The difference is that you needed a coin (10 cents) to operate them. And, like home, you had the added luxury called privacy. At home, if you were alone, no one else could hear your conversation. Outside, all you had to do is step into the phone booth, close the door behind you, drop your dime into the device, dial the number and chat away. It (and life) was that easy.

3 Apps and Websites to Help You Make Rent This Month
Maybe you're like me and your 9-5 just ain't cutting it. I've always had an itch to run my own business and be my own boss, but with approximately zero dollars to help me get started I had to be creative. Pile on top of that about $20,000 in student loans and medical debt and I absolutely needed additional income to ever get ahead. I started looking for work from home jobs other than selling on eBay (nothing wrong with that, I've just sold everything I could already). And, I'm happy to inform you I've found three apps and websites that I use religiously that have funded my trip to LA, helped make my car note every month, and start an emergency fund.
