The Blog

Alyssa Haffejee

Senior Writer

I’m not another boring finance writer. I’m just a girl who can barely stick to her budget, but who uncovers truths around money and culture. Buy now, pay later f*cking up your credit score? Let me tell you all about it. Need help paying less rent? I’ve got years of experience cheating the system. Or maybe you need some hard-hitting truths about capitalism and economic inequalities? I’m not afraid to get fired and call out the truth.
