My Open Wallet: A Personal Finance Blog about Money and Life in New York

http://www.myopenwallet.net

An anonymous New Yorker tells the world how much money she earns, spends, and saves.
I am a 30-something single woman living in Brooklyn, NY. I write about how much money I make, what I spend it on, how much I save, how I budget, my home-buying experiences, my financial goals and ambitions, my thoughts on class and what it means to be rich or poor, and anything else that relates to money.
