There is no upside to being broke, and she says so in the first line rather than working towards it. Kim McDaniel could have written the silver lining piece, admits her husband says she always looks on the bright side, and then refuses to do it on this subject. Refusing to do it makes her more interesting than any consolation would have.
Her marriage post carries the same directness. Wanting to marry somebody gets described as a dethroning of your own self, less me and more we, and an admission that you are better off together than apart. It is a demanding way to think about it and she does not soften it.
The fat loss writing comes from somebody with clients, and the useful part is her insistence that desperation pushes people into risks they would never otherwise take.
There are posts on home business tax benefits and on choosing among opportunities.
Read the being broke post. Almost nobody writes that one honestly.
