Side Hustles, Passive Income, & Finance
Once in a while (and by ‘once in a while’ I really just mean once, so far) I like to write specific app reviews. I wrote my Hurdlr App review a few months back after one of their representatives walked me through some of the app features and uses. While this was a first for me, I enjoy sharing what I consider to be cool…

I’ve done a lot of thinking since graduating college this past year, and while I’m happy I decided to pursue post secondary education, I’m also of the opinion that the curriculum (in most programs)…
