My piece of joy last week: I reached out to Nutre (a meal prep company I use sometimes) and asked if they could apply the nurse’s discount they were promoting to my account. At the time, I had a different offer… a free pound of cooked chicken. Nice, but honestly? That 15% nurse discount was more valuable to me. And guess what? It was super easy. They made the switch. Lesson: It never hurts to ask. And no one cares about your money like you do.
🧠 Mindset Shift of the WeekOne of my clients once said, “We make plenty, but it doesn’t always feel that way.”Have you caught yourself having that same thought? Many think the solution is to just make more. And while earning more helps, if you don’t assign each dollar a job, it disappears fast. So let’s focus on making your current income work for you. 💡 Smart Saving TipBudgeting isn’t about saying “no” all the time. It allows you to plan so you’re not making the same money decisions over and over. I decide once, and my budget handles the rest until it’s time to update it. Budgeting gives you more freedom, not less. 📉 Debt-Free Game PlanTracking your spending is important on your debt-free journey. But it doesn’t have to mean spreadsheets and stress. Apps make it easy to see where your money’s going without getting overwhelmed. I use Monarch because it’s simple, clean, and helps me stay consistent. Others use YNAB or EveryDollar. Choose whatever works best for you.
📈 Investing Made SimpleRemember when the market tanked earlier this year and everyone panicked? Some folks sold off their investments. Fast forward to today…the S&P 500 just hit a record high. This is why we don’t make long-term decisions based on fear, especially when it’s the headlines doing the scaring. Need a reminder to stay steady? Here’s how to behave in a bear market.

You’ve probably seen the “Buy Now, Pay Later” options all over the place…Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, you name it. It’s tempting to break up a purchase into smaller payments instead of paying the full amount upfront. But here’s something you need to know:BNPL loans are now being reported to your credit report. 👉🏽In 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...
