a dangerous idea keeping people from building wealth
|
Last week I was scrolling and landed on a post from another creator where he was sharing the difference between when someone invests just enough to get the match at work and another maxes it out. One comment caught my attention. NO ONE? Now, I usually don't engage with commenters like this but it was important to me that people knew the truth. I replied that I max out my retirement and I don't make multiple six figures. Of course, I didn't change his mind but that was never the point. I made a crap ton of money mistakes before I ever saw content that showed me what was actually possible for someone like me. That's the reason I do this. Not to win an argument in someone else's comment section, but because someone like him, telling that creator, that this isn't realistic, is exactly the kind of thing that keeps women stuck longer than they need to be. Words matter. What we let other people tell us about what's possible for our money becomes the ceiling we live under, even when we never asked for their opinion in the first place. This kind of content showed me what was possible and I hope that's what I'm doing for you. I believe in you, Reader. Not in a bumper sticker way. I believe that maxing out an account, paying off debt faster, building real savings, it isn't reserved for a certain income bracket. It's a series of decisions made consistently over time, and that's an option for you regardless of the number written on your paycheck today. That belief is exactly why, when a national outlet asked for help re: a payday plan people could use to avoid mistakes like late fees, I was happy to help. It includes a bill tracking trick that takes two minutes to set up and a specific way to time your autopay so a late fee never touches your account again. I'm not going to walk you through all of it here. You can click here to go read it. It's aimed at Gen Z readers but the advice applies to everyone, including myself.

They say the first $100K is the hardest. I hit mine at 29, and I'm 36 now with about $570,000 invested. I shared the short version of how I got there in this quick video, and today I'm sharing the longer version with you. I didn't come from money, and early on I had no real plan. I cashed out my first 403(b) when I left that job, and for a while I put in about $100 a paycheck with no rhyme or reason, just because I knew I should be doing something. What got me from there to $100K was a...
I was recently featured in USA TODAY talking about 10 habits that can drive up your grocery bill and what you can do about them. Grocery spending is one of those budget categories that can change quickly. A few extra trips, more convenience foods, or buying things without a plan can add up before you realize it. And when groceries run over, that money has to come from somewhere else in your budget. If your grocery bill has been harder to manage lately, I think you’ll find this article...
Thank you to everyone who joined The 3-Step Plan to Grow Your Savings Simply and Consistently live on Sunday. It meant a lot to have you there. I want to tell you why I put this together in the first place. Right now, everything feels more expensive. Groceries, gas, just about everything. And on top of that, there's constant talk about the economy, whether we're headed for a recession, what's coming next. It's a lot to carry, and it's easy to feel despondent about money when it seems like the...
