Hey Reader Last week, I watched a video that had me 𤯠(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 start at the most impactful part for me (39:42) and I encourage you to watch for 8 minutes. Because of the amount of money they have, it may feel unrelatable to you at first. But understand that if you told yourself that the reason you're stressed about money is ONLY (or mainly) because you don't make enough, you are in her shoes emotionally. Another thing I've learned coaching people on their money is that more often than not, people feel worse about their money than the situation merits. It's always shocking to them how much disposable income they have. Everyone always feels their money is so tight! That's because, as the video showed, there is not a direct correlation between the dollars in your bank account and how you feel about money. If that's the case, how does one ever feel good about money? The first step is to hit pause on the anxiety and fear and look at your money objectively. That's why I created the $9 Financial Fitness Check with the goal of helping you see the REAL of your money quickly, efficiently, and accurately. Inside, you'll find a checklist you can use to see how much you ACTUALLY know about your money. There are video trainings for each part of the checklist so that you can assess your money in less than 60 minutes! And if you really want to get some work done, grab your fillable workbook to match the checklist. The workbook will help you take action on what you find in the checklist. So the checklist that's included is the what while the workbook is the how! Does that make sense?

Last week, I told you about how I helped my sister find over $300 she didnāt know she had ($334.28 plus interest, to be exact). Today, I want to share a little more about how that happened and why it might be worth your time to check for yourself. That day, I was doing one of my favorite ānerdy money thingsā...checking missingmoney.com to see if there were any unclaimed funds under my name. Now, to be honest, Iāve done this search before... multiple times. š But since I keep my money pretty...
Last week, I met with a client for a Smart Money Strategy Session. She felt like she was drowning, and it was clear why. Every dollar coming in was already spent. So saving? Felt impossible. As we talked, it became clear that most of her money decisions were being made in the moment. Whatever expense popped up, thatās what got handled. But there wasnāt a plan for how much she could afford ahead of time. No strategy to guide those choices. I challenged her to pick one major expense to either...
Youāve probably seen the āBuy Now, Pay Laterā options all over the placeā¦Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, you name it. Itās tempting to break up a purchase into smaller payments instead of paying the full amount upfront. But hereās something you need to know:BNPL loans are now being reported to your credit report. šš½In April, I shared on Threads that Affirm had already started reporting to Experian. The others are following suit. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you handle...
