One of my patients told me she pays over $700 for a monthly injection of a medication that her insurance would cover if she chose to take the pill version instead. However, that would be a pill every day or multiple times a day, and she simply doesn’t want to do that. Money buys you options, and that’s what I want for you. Not specifically to buy expensive medication, but to give yourself options. Also, if you haven't yet signed up, this is your reminder to sign up for the Ask Me Anything...

I saw a post recently where someone said they don’t like the term financial literacy because it could make people feel like they’re financially illiterate. And I get that. No one wants to feel like they’re failing at money. I never want you to feel like you’re failing at money. Here’s how I see it instead: financial literacy isn’t about what you don’t know. It’s about what you can learn. It’s a lifelong process, and no one just wakes up one day suddenly knowing everything about money. That’s...

When I graduated from nursing school in 2011, I knew next to nothing about managing money. I paid my bills, spent the rest, and hoped for the best. That was the extent of my financial strategy. It wasn’t until 2018 that I started listening to personal finance podcasts. Suddenly, I was hearing words and concepts I had never come across before, like sinking funds, debt-to-income ratio, and index funds. At first, it felt like learning a new language. But the more I listened, the more I started...

Hey Reader Last week, I watched a video that had me 🤯 (mind blown in case the emoji didn't do it for you). I'm going to preface this by saying, I've been a consumer of personal finance content since 2018. I've been a money coach since 2022. While I know that having more money does not automatically make people feel better about money, I've never seen a clearer example than in this video from Ramit Sethi's podcast. It's long so if you don't want to watch the whole thing, I encourage you to...
