On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Thats brilliant. I think in these times whatever you can save up and put in a HYSA is a smart move. I hope you have kept this amount in a HYSA?

59% of Americans can’t cover a $1,000 emergency—down from 44% last year. Most turn to credit cards or loans, a risky move in today’s high-rate economy. Inflation’s bite is real. Build that emergency fund before life hits. #EmergencySavings #Finsky

The day we start seeing money as not a tool to buy a lot of stuff (basics excluded) but a way t be truly free and independent (take a leave for a month, vacation for a week anywhere in the world). We will automatically make better financial decisions

Market swings got you dizzy? Remember, panic selling locks in losses. Stick to your long-term plan and keep investing in diversified, low-cost index funds.
Patience pays!

Trade war headlines = 🔥
But you don’t need to play the chaos.
Play the macro trend:
📈 Rising inflation
📉 Slower growth
🛡️ Safer sectors, smarter moves
Tariffs are the storm. You’re the umbrella ☂️

Max Worth | Personal Finance @maxworthtips.bsky.social · Apr 6

Every time tariffs spike, a portfolio cries.
But not yours—
Because you:
✅ Rebalanced for inflation
✅ Cut risky overexposure
✅ Held through the noise
Investing is 80% mindset, 20% moves. 🧘‍♂️📊

When tariffs go up, markets get jumpy.
But instead of panic-selling, zoom out.
🧠 Think:
1. U.S.-centric ETFs
2. Dividend stocks
3. Inflation hedges

Max Worth | Personal Finance @maxworthtips.bsky.social · Apr 6

High tariffs = high prices
High prices = high inflation
High inflation = Fed says “LOL no rate cuts”
👀 Translation: stocks stay shaky
➡️ ETF and CHILL
The real flex? Long-term conviction.

America will learn a very expensive lesson: A country cannot be run like a business and definitely not by somone who filed for 7 bankruptcies.

Biden achieved a soft landing. People forget that this was deemed almost impossible but Biden and Powell did it. I hate the fact that misinformation has taken over so much that we can’t see simple truths.

Well I’ll say it, today was a shit day for anyone who has any investments in the public markets. That’s 70% of America

Siri is possibly the worst virtual assistants out there. They got to partner up with open ai or something to improve whatever they are doing

I agree with you. But I fear, this maybe quite difficult. The bluesky wave came in after or around the elections. Unless Bluesky incentivizes (either via monetization or reach) its creators, fewer creators or big accounts will post on it or new accounts will not be motivated to make the jump
