As I’ve said in the past, I’m not good with serious situations because I’m quick to get emotional so I mask it with goofiness. So when we made the decision to shutter Well Spent, it hurt, but I swatted the seriousness away by thinking of all of the fun I’ve had writing with Brad, Reed...

Truth be told, I’ve never had a longterm plan for Well Spent; no specific goal for the site, much less any kind of eventual exit strategy. I just really hated the job I was working back in 2011, and really liked looking at clothes on the internet, and hoped I could somehow make a living...

I have a hard time coping with loss because I have an even harder time being serious about things. Just the way I am, I guess. So, when I lost my grandfather a few months back, it was really tough on me. I didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t want to think about... The post ERKN.

Well, there appears to be an absurd amount of actual trash — like, literal refuse — listed for sale on Amazon, or so says the Wall Street Journal, which has basically turned Digging up Questionable Shit on Amazon into its own vertical. According to an investigation by the paper, there is a “dedicated cadre of... The post Amazon is Full of Garbage, Literally appeared first on Well Spent ..read more

American Apparel, Avenue, Charlotte Russe, and Payless all got some digital ink, while... The post A Look Back at Some of the Brands We Lost This Decade appeared first on Well Spent ..read more
