"there's nothing you could do about it"
Hey Reader
Today, I'm going to share a quick story about what it means to me to be a steward of your money.
When I went to Italy in the spring with my sister and cousin, we visited the island of Capri. Having visited the island before I knew it was expensive but I have never been as stunned as I was that day. The waiter offered us the specials which unbeknownst to us were far more expensive than anything on the physical menu. My lunch was $160!
When I told my coworker this story, she said "What can you do? There's nothing you can do about it?" I was pleased to inform her that I already did something about it. I looked at the restaurant's reviews online and quickly realized, we weren't the first to fall victim to their song and dance. I took screenshots and disputed the charge with my credit card company.
I wasn't sure if it would work but there was LITERALLY no harm in trying. The charge was already on the card. I successfully got $100 back from my credit card. I didn't request a full refund because I did eat my meal but I couldn't take being swindled.
So I encourage you to stand up for yourself when you feel wronged. You won't get money back every time but when you do, ah sweet victory!
I'd love to hear if you ever felt robbed by a merchant and if you tried to get your money back. Just reply with your story.
Eager to see you thrive,
P.S. If you're interested in growing your money instead of your anxiety around money, schedule a call with me to see if 1:1 coaching is right for you.

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...
Hey Reader Today, I'm popping in really quick to share my favorite tool for tracking my net worth. I use Monarch Money to track my financial progress. This app is SO cool! I love the different ways it gives me insights into my money. Every month, it gives an overview of your cash flow, your top expense categories, and compares how all these things have changed since last month. I prefer to use an app because I like to make things simple. Rather than putting every single expense on a...
