It’s the best way to have a meaningful conversation and it’s the best way to rope in a mentor or look like a star performer. Good questions require creative thinking.

I am passionate about frugality- I take slow steps toward making a career about it. Because of its limitations, it forces you to be creative. Frugality forces you to manage time and resources wisely, and it's important to practice it for your career. Lots of job and career changes. I write about it every day.
