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.

Well I'm Back in Black!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel like my ambition left with 2007. If you're looking for a little extra something to keep you chugging along, pick up Cathie Black's book Basic Black (thanks for the X-mas present, Mom). The President of Hearst Magazine Group, this woman should is getting altitude sickness she is so high up the corporate ladder. She gives lowlings like me tips on making it in the big time. This book is witty and well written, and highlights all the tips in red boxes so all you minions out there won't miss a thing, even if you are still lugging around that "assistant" title (which we all know means instructions need to be laid out in basic 1,2,3 steps).

Buy it here (again, love Amazon.com). And check out iSpends comments here
