What began as a blog reputation for being a
self-tutored, obsessive-compulsive first-time
homebuyer who freely gives advice turned
into a post that eventually became
Real
World Homebuying Advice for the Imperfect
Borrower!

I'd like to thank the hundreds of folks who
emailed, forwarded, and linked their friends.

My latest article is a continuation of that
theme -- how
to Go For Broke in Love Without
Going Broke.

There's more where all of that came from
and as always you can find it here!

A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Without Investing,
Or How to Fall in Love Without Going Broke

By: Tressie McMillan

If you haven't just fallen off that infamous turnip
truck chances are excellent that you have
made some foolish decisions in the name of
love.

Unlike your Mother or your religious deity I do
not blame you for doing so. To love is human; to
screw up love is divine. I mean, how else do you
know that you can indeed survive the
gut-wrenching pain that is seeing the one you
let talk you into depraved sex acts nuzzling the
ex-girlfriend he swore he hated at the
restaurant he always thought was way too
pretentious?

How, indeed?

Yes, I do not blame you, dearheart, for loving
the wrong guy. I will, however, blame you 100%
should you, after reading this, ever pay for
loving the wrong guy with your bank account or
credit rating.

This is a handy-dandy list of how to love
whole-heartedly without leaving a trail of bitter
collection agencies in your wake.

Clip it, highlight it, and attach it to a picture of
the finest man you have ever seen. Then crazy
glue it to the lining of your knock-off designer
handbag. And the next time you find yourself
reaching inside said handbag to hand over both
your number and "a few bucks for gas" check
the pic and the list and ask yourself "is this
man half as fine as the one in my wallet?" If he
isn't shut both your purse and your legs. Fine,
I'll settle for your purse but really? It won't kill
you to shut your legs too.
