Think money = happiness?

Purpose, connection, a reason to get out of bed...
not available on Amazon.

Money helps avoid unhappiness, but it won't solve all problems.

Beliefs can be changed! Maybe its time to review yours about money?

Tracking is the engine of awareness and agency in any plan, financial or otherwise.

What do you track?

Spending, net worth, ROI? How and where do you do it?

Or if you don't, what is stopping you?

Tell me in the replies!

I'm a total nerd for this type of stuff. 🤓

Imagine no more weekends 🤯
No white-knuckling to Friday or Sunday scaries.

Retirement? Nah.
Aim to own 💯 your time.

Once burnout fades, passion reignites ❤️‍🔥

I escaped the cubicle & got busier: coaching, creating, hiking. No idea what day it is. 🤷‍♀️

Only one life, but endless ways to walk it.

The way you use your money shapes the journey. 💸

With debt - or freedom?
With baggage - or options?

Are you walking towards a life you love? Or heading for a cliff?

Choose with your very next step!

It’s not the wild, rare disasters that ruin your finances. It’s the boring, predictable ones you refuse to plan for.

Divorce. Layoffs. Medical bills.

Inflation. Layoffs. Market tanking.

The world is wobbly, yes. 🌎
Time to work on earthquake proofing your foundation!

A plan, a skill, a community - those are important building blocks. 👷‍♀️

Don't be an April fool! 🤦🏻‍♀️

There's still time to open an traditional or Roth IRA. You can still contribute for 2024 until April 15th. 🗓️

Basically, the closest thing to getting a time machine IRL.

Remember learning to walk? You fell, got back up, figured it out.

Money is the same. With effort and practice, its a fixable skill gap.

So, stop saying "I'm just bad with money." Its about as cute as an adult still crawling.

But do you know your investments fees?

If you have a #401k, IRA, brokerage account, or a financial advisor, check out all your fees and expenses. That's what will really rob you of your #retirement.

Money is emotion, a story living rent-free in your head.

Take control of the narrative, solve the equation.

Money and shame. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

🫣 Spent too much? On the wrong things? At the wrong time? For the wrong reasons?

🙃 Or made too little… or too much?

The self-talk is LOUD. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Love this concept. Use your money to create, not consume!
Your paycheck is the seed, not the harvest. Water it with investments, nurture it with patience, and let it grow into financial freedom.
