Being Citybroke is about perspective. It’s about seeing glitter in the gutter and a sense of humor when life is giving you everything you don’t exactly want and you’re hanging on for a dream that you sometimes can’t remember.
It’s not sales or survival - it’s an electronic letter from the trenches. It’s what suits who make $60K in at age 24 can’t even imagine. It’s Freedom. It’s Poverty. It’s Broken. It’s Beautiful.

Estrogen in the Winter can be Tough.

UC Davis Psychologist Brian Trainor found that estrogen has completely opposite effects on aggression [in mice] depending on the length of daylight. Specifically, estrogen made mice less aggressive when daylight hours were kept long, simulating summer. But it made them more aggressive when daylight hours were short, simulating winter.
Hmm...so estrogen-rich office slaves who labor in windowless cubes are more likely to be aggressive during winter? Intriguing.
