Today is Equal Pay Day, the symbolic day when women’s overall earnings “catch-up” to men’s earnings from the previous year. Women are paid, on average, 79 cents to every dollar a man makes – but that’s just scratching the surface. Continue reading “What could you buy with equal pay?”

With a World Cup win under their belts, the U.S. women’s soccer team has their eyes on the next prize – closing the pay gap. Five players from the U.S. Women’s National Team have filed suit against the US Soccer Federation for wage discrimination.
The complaint, made on behalf of the entire team, claims the governing body of U.S. soccer pays them four times less than the men’s team. To put that into perspective, the women’s team was paid $2 million for winning the World Cup, while the men’s team got $9 million for losing in round 16.

Last semester, I fell into the opportunity to teach a few semester-long classes as a long-term substitute. It was challenging, rewarding and unforgettable. But now that those classes are finished for the year, and because I’m not a traditionally trained teacher, I’ve stepped into a new role as a per diem sub – covering teacher absences because of illness, field trips or vacations. This is a totally different workflow.
Let me explain with some Rachel Maddow gifs. Continue reading “Living the #SubLife: Tales from a Substitute Teacher”

I have heard this too many times: “I am a Millennial in my 20s, why should I start saving for retirement, which is decades away from now.” The answer? Because compounding of dollars and starting earlier will have a bigger impact on your big picture at retirement. Continue reading “IRAs, 401(k)s 403(b)s Oh My!”

The idea of working for yourself may sound glamorous, but there needs to be something stronger behind the decision than that to make it stick, said Lara Custer, owner of Barrevolution in Timonium, MD.
